Don't mistake the lack of feedback for a lack of interest, please. This is a wonderful service. I'm learning a lot.

Whatever a Vicar Forane is, we all know what a Forane Vicar is. He's a vicar from some other country. Usage: "That new guy over thar? The one yonder? He's from, like, I dunno, France er sumpin. He's a Forane Vicar."

**Forane Vicar is. He’s a vicar from some other country.**
