The nuncios, who are usually titular bishops or archbishops, have a double function —representing the Pope before the civil government and also before the Church in the country. They differ from apostolic delegates with whom they are often confused; the latter deal only with the Church within the country to which they are sent, and they are not accredited to the government and do not have a political role. 4, record 1, English, - nuncio

[Les nonces et les pro-nonces sont] deux catégories de représentants du Vatican, assimilés à la classe des ambassadeurs et qui ne se distinguent pratiquement l'un de l'autre que sur un point. Dans l'État d'accueil, le nonce jouit d'une préséance spéciale sur tous les autres ambassadeurs accrédités dans la même capitale, et, par suite de cette préséance de droit, il est d'office, doyen du Corps diplomatique. Le pro-nonce, par contre, ne jouit d'aucune préséance spéciale. 4, record 1, French, - nonce

La segunda categoría está compuesta por los enviados extraordinarios, ministros plenipotenciarios o internuncios, [...] estos gozan en la práctica de las mismas funciones y de las mismas prerrogativas que los nuncios, y representan a la Santa Sede en los países en que no hay nunciatura. 3, record 1, Spanish, - nuncio
