Uditore (title)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uditore is an Italian name that has been used in the papal embassy system (Latin: auditor ) since the Middle Ages . The Italian designation asserted itself through the dominant position of Italian curia diplomats in the papal embassy system compared to the actually "officially" Latin one . The Uditore, always a diplomat of the clergy, stood by the nuncio as a kind of “right hand”, comparable to a counselor or a counciloranother diplomatic mission. The title Uditore is meanwhile often pushed back by titles like "Nunciature Councilor (1st class)" etc., which have been adapted to the general diplomatic practice.
