Latin translation help please

[BusterMartin]

Hello,

I’m getting married in late July and we are getting a Papal Blessing! I’m really excited, but I have a question about it. There are some Latin phrases on it, and I’ve used some online translators, but I haven’t come up with anything that is obviously an accurate translation. Could someone please help me out and translate the following three lines from Latin to English? Please bear in mind the font was tiny and in cursive so it was hard to see, and I might have mistyped something slightly because of it.

“Ex Redibus Vaticanis die”

and

“Arcbicpiscopus”

and

“Eleemosynarius Summi Pontificis”

Thank you!

“Ex Redibus Vaticanis die” doesn’t seem quite right, as I can’t put my finger on “redibus” as a form of any word. My guess would be “From the Vatican revenues die],” with “die” meaning “by day” or something else, depending on the context. If by any chance it’s “Ex Ædibus Vaticanis die,” that would be “From the Vatican chambers die].”

“Arcbicpiscopus” is a misspelling for “Archiepiscopus” or “Archepiscopus,” meaning “Archbishop.” “Eleemosynarius Summi Pontificis” refers to the eleemosynary, i.e. charity or almsgiving, of the Supreme Pontiff, although, again, without context I can’t tell the exact grammatical role of the phrase.

Ah, I figured it out. It’s almost surely “Ex Ædibus Vaticanis, die [number, month],” meaning simply “From the chambers of the Vatican, on the [number] day of [month].”

Well, it’s from a Papal Blessing for a Wedding. I don’t have an image of the exact one; however, I found a similar one already signed (I guess by an Archbishop - I was hoping the Pope signed these and not some Archbishop I don’t know ) on Google Images. Click here to see it (It can be enlarged). It looks like they hand write a date in and then sign it, but the printed Latin is identical. Does that help?

Ah. The part on the left is as I described. On the right, Oscar Rizzato is described as Archbishop, and Almoner of the Office of Papal Charities. (The current Almoner is Archbishop Félix del Blanco Prieto. Regrettably, the Pope is pretty busy running a church of 1.1 billion faithful.)

Hope this helps.

Ah…got it! Thanks so much for your help!! …and yeah, I know the Pope has his hands full. I guess it was just wishful thinking. Either way, I’m excited! (and seem to love smilies in this post for some reason )
