In those countries where the Papal representative is not accepted as the doyen, the Holy See used to send internuncios, but since 1965 it has been represented by pro-nuncios who may, eventually, be doyens should they become the senior heads of mission. 1, record 2, English, - pro%2Dnuncio

Nonce élevé à la pourpre cardinalice mais qui n'a pas encore reçu la pourpre cardinalice et de ce fait n'a pas encore regagné le Vatican. 2, record 2, French, - pro%2Dnonce

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. D'ailleurs, la création de ce nouveau titre est intimement lié à ce problème de préséance et de décanat. Face à l'évolution de la pratique diplomatique concernant le nivellement des missions diplomatiques au rang d'ambassade, et, en même temps, au refus de nombreux États - notamment l'Asie et l'Afrique - de reconnaître au nonce un tel privilège, le Saint-Siège a institué ce titre de pro-nonce qui, étymologiquement, signifie : au lieu du nonce - pour assurer la direction d'une partie de ces nonciatures. 3, record 2, French, - pro%2Dnonce

Cuando se da el caso de que no son recibidos como decanos del cuerpo diplomático, ostentan el título de pronuncio, y el internuncio es el equivalente del ministro plenipotenciario, con un nivel diplomático superior al del pronuncio pero inferior al del nuncio. 1, record 2, Spanish, - pronuncio
