What does Monsignor refer to in the Catholic church?
In some countries, Monsignor (or its foreign language equivalent) is the usual style of address for all higher prelates of the Catholic Church below the rank of cardinal or patriarch, including bishops and archbishops. In other countries, particularly English-speaking ones, it is not used for bishops, but only for priests who have received certain specific honorary awards or who hold certain offices.
