An Honorary Prelate of His Holiness is a priest to whom the Pope has granted this title. They are addressed as Monsignor and have certain privileges as regards ecclesiastical dress.〔(Instruction on the Dress, Titles and Coat-of-Arms of Cardinals, Bishops and Lesser Prelates ) (31 March 1969), English translation published by the Vatican.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=catholicsites.org )〕 ==History== Before the motu proprio ''Pontificalis Domus'' of 28 March 1968, Honorary Prelates were called Domestic Prelates (in Latin, ''Antistites Urbani''), a title that then also went with certain offices such as that of Archbishop or Bishop Assistant at the Throne or membership of the Roman Prelature, and that was also maintained by Archbishops, Bishops and Apostolic Protonotaries who had been awarded it before their appointment to those positions.〔''Annuario Pontificio'' 2012, p. 1853〕 Today, as well as those to whom the award is granted individually, generally at the request of their bishops, the following are ''ex officio'' Honorary Prelates: *The members of the Colleges of the Roman Prelatures: Protonotaries ''de numero''; judges of the Rota; clerics of the Apostolic Camera; *The Judges of the Rota of the Apostolic Nunciature to Spain; *Some or all of the members of eight cathedral or collegial chapters in Italy and one in Poland.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「honorary prelate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
