They were Priests, Monsignors, Bishops, and Arch-Bishops
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are forty provinces or Ordinaries in the United States. Each one may have as many as ten to twelve dioceses in it. Each diocesan Bishop has the right to nominate whoever he wants to the papal household. The Vatican decides who is to receive this honor, and bestows it accordingly. To count up the total number of Monsignors, you would need to call each of the hundreds of diocesan chanceries, and ask how many priests they have with the title, Monsignor.
The celebrant of mass must be an ordained Catholic priest. This includes monsignors, bishops, archbishops and popes.
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, a monsignor is an honorific title bestowed on a few priests for something outstanding.
According to Wikipedia:As of January 2009[update], in the Roman Catholic Church there are 630 archdioceses (including 13 patriarchates, two catholicates, 536 metropolitan archdioceses, 79 single archdioceses) and 2,167 dioceses in the world.Now, each diocese keeps track of its own monsignors (monsignor is just an honorary title given to priests), so to get a total of active and retired monsignori, you would need to contact each individual diocese and archdiocese in the world.
The pope is the highest ranking member of the Catholic hierarchy.
