In [[English-speaking]] countries (except the United States), a Catholic archbishop is addressed as "Your Grace", while a Catholic bishop is addressed as "Your Lordship". Before December 12, 1930, the title "Most Reverend" was only for archbishops, while bishops were styled as "Right Reverend".<ref>''Canon Law Digest,'' Bouscaren, Vol. 1, Page 20.

[[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore]]. Retrieved on 2016-11-19.</ref> This practice is still followed by Catholic bishops in the [[United Kingdom]] to mirror that of the [[Church of England]]. In Roman Catholic [[Ecclesiastical heraldry|heraldry]], an archbishop has an ecclesiastical hat called a [[galero]] with ten tassels on each side of his [[coat of arms]], while a bishop has only six. The archiepiscopal cross behind the shield has two bars instead of one. Such a cross may be borne before him in liturgical processions. In processions and other occasions where strict protocol is observed, archbishops are ranked higher than [[diocesan bishop]]s in the [[Order of precedence in the Catholic Church|order of precedence]]. In the [[Anglican Communion]], archbishops are styled "The Most Reverend" and addressed as "Your Grace", while bishops are styled "The Right Reverend" and addressed as "My Lord" or "Your Lordship". (In some countries, this usage is followed also by the Roman Catholic Church, but in others no distinction is made and "The Most Reverend" and "Your Excellency" are used for archbishops and bishops alike.) Anglican archbishops are entitled to be preceded by a server carrying an archiepiscopal processional cross (with two bars instead of one) in liturgical processions.<ref>This Anglican [https://archive.today/20140911111258/http://library.episcopalchurch.org/gallery/episcopal-news-service-archives?page=2%23content news agency page] has photographs of two-barred crosses being carried by Archbishop George Carey and by Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold.</ref> The [[archbishop of Canterbury]]'s metropolitical processional cross is always carried before him by a priest-chaplain, and (like other archbishops) is a two-barred processional cross. However, the archbishop of Canterbury is also entitled to be preceded by the ancient primatial cross of Canterbury (still in ceremonial use) which is of an ornate historical design, made of precious metal, and with precious stones inserted, but unlike his metropolitical cross (or those of other archbishops) it is not double-barred.<ref>The primatial cross is illustrated at the [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/2315 London SE1] community website.</ref>
