There are three honorary titles that the pope may bestow on a priest, usually at the request of his bishop:
- Protonotary Apostolic
- Prelate of Honor
- Chaplain of His Holiness
A priest awarded any of these honorary titles may be addressed as "Monsignor".

A vicar. The title 'vicar' is the title of the person who is the priest with spiritual oversight of a parish and is not dependent upon the gender of the priest. Therefore both male and females are called vicars. The level of ordination of a vicar is that of priest. Similarly a female priest is called, still, a priest and not a priestess. Priestesses were (and are) associated with pagan cults or even witchcraft, and so Christian priests who are women are called priests.
