Nothing really, in the most English speaking countries, Monsignor is just an honorary title bestowed from the Vatican on certain priests as an honor requested by their bishop, usually in reward for their services. However, in some countries, Monsignor refers to a Bishop not a priest (non-English speaking, such as France and Spain.)
