 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Order of Friars Minor
In 1430 Martin V (1417-31) summoned the whole order, Observants and Conventuals, to the general Chapter of Assisi (1430), "in order that our desire for a general reform of the order may be fulfilled." William of Casale (1430-42) was elected general, but the intellectual leader of Assisi was St. John Capistran.
The order is divided into provinces (that is, associations of the convents in one country or district), which prescribe and define the sphere of activity of the various friars within their sphere of jurisdiction.
The order was established to minister to all classes, and the Franciscans have in every age discharged the spiritual offices of confessor and preacher in the palaces of sovereigns and in the huts of the poor.

 A History of Land Tenure Arrangements in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland, sometimes referred to by proponents of national unity (between the Republic and Northern Ireland) as the Six Counties, is made up of six of the nine counties of the former province of Ulster.
The largest denominations of Protestants in Northern Ireland are Presbyterian, the Church of Ireland (once a branch of the Church of England), and the Methodists.
An interesting and important note to this discussion is the close association in Northern Ireland of general Protestant desire to remain in the United Kingdom "Union" with England and Roman Catholic desire for the Six Counties to reunite with the Republic and separate from the United Kingdom.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Carmelite Order
In fact the Carmelite Order as such was only approved by the Second Council of Lyons (1274), but St. Simon obtained from Innocent IV an interim approbation, as well as certain modifications of the rule (1247).
Thus the order ceased to be eremitical and became one of the mendicant orders.
Separated from the rest of the order, the Carmelites were for a time subjected to the rule of George Brown, general of all the mendicants, but gained a comparative independence under John Byrd, first provincial and then general of the English section of the order.

The Order of precedence in the United Kingdom is different for each region.
The Prince Consort, husband of a female Sovereign, has precedence over all other males, "except where otherwise provided by Act of Parliament." The only such Act applies for the determination of seating within the House of Lords Chamber, and therefore, the Prince Consort, in most situations, precedes other men.
In Northern Ireland, due sensetivities regarding the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, no distinction is made between Catholic and Anglican Archbishops and Bishops.

 spiked-politics | Article | Northern Ireland's war of words
The aim was to get Northern Ireland moving again, following the suspension of the devolved assembly in October 2002 amid allegations of an IRA spy ring at the heart of Stormont.
When Northern Ireland's problems are viewed in this way, the role of the peace process becomes, not opting for one of those nasty old-fashioned solutions, but managing relations between the distinct identities.
Officials worry that if Northern Ireland's politicians, currently being weaned off their desires for a single-identity solution, are allowed too much contact with the people, it might re-ignite their old political posturings, where they will attempt to win votes by appealing to the masses' presumed desires for old-fashioned solutions.
