I'm a lifelong Catholic and I happen to agree with humblegunner that its silly to use the title "Cardinal" between the person's first and last name, as if it was their middle name or something.

It makes no logical sense to put a title in the middle and it's not used for any other Catholic clergical titles, let alone secular titles. Nobody says "Thomas Reverend Smith", "Ed Deacon Jones", "Fulton Bishop J. Sheen", "John Pope Paul II", etc.

So I'm going to be consistent with ALL the other titles on the planet and say "Cardinal Timothy Dolan", not "Timothy Cardinal Dolan". The Catholic Church says it's perfectable acceptable to say Cardinal first.

Deal with it.
