What does the term "Monsignor" imply about a priest?

  1. He is a leader of a Catholic diocese

  2. He has been given an honorary title

  3. He holds the position of bishop

  4. He is a newly ordained priest

The correct answer is: He has been given an honorary title

The term "Monsignor" refers to an honorary title that is conferred upon certain priests in the Roman Catholic Church. This title is typically granted by the Pope or a bishop and recognizes a priest’s service and contributions to the Church, often distinguished by their dedication or achievements. It is important to note that becoming a Monsignor does not change the sacerdotal authority or function of a priest; rather, it serves as a mark of honor and distinction. The other options relate to different roles within the church but do not accurately describe the meaning of the title "Monsignor." For example, the title does not imply leadership of a diocese or indicate that the priest has the authority of a bishop. Additionally, it does not pertain to being a newly ordained priest, as the title is generally awarded after a priest has had experience and proved their worth within the Church.
