What title is conferred upon a priest to denote honor?

  1. Pastor

  2. Imam

  3. Monsignor

  4. Cardinal

The correct answer is: Monsignor

The title that is conferred upon a priest to denote honor is 'Monsignor.' This title is an honorific given to certain priests in the Catholic Church as a mark of distinction, recognizing their service and contributions. It is not a sacramental role but rather an honor that can be bestowed upon priests by the Pope or an archbishop. The title signifies a level of respect and acknowledgement within the church hierarchy. In contrast, while 'Pastor' refers to a clergyman in charge of a specific church congregation, it does not carry the same connotation of honor that 'Monsignor' does. 'Imam' is a title used in Islam to refer to a leader of prayer or religious educator, and does not relate to the honorific status within Catholicism. 'Cardinal' is indeed a high-ranking title in the Catholic Church, representing a senior church leader, often involved in advisory roles and the governance of the church, but it denotes a position rather than an honorific title for priests specifically.
