Whoa!

I believe the title of "monsignor" (translated as "my lord", similar to the French use/translation in that language) is a totally honorific one bestowed by the Roman Cathoilc Church upon a priest who at one time or another was "attached" to the Vatican City or former papal estates. It is not the same as bishop or elder. That's my understanding. A good source of information for some Roman Catholic titles is "The A to Z of the Holy See" (the author escapes me at present).

Blessings...

I tried to edit my response in the matter of "monsignor" but it wouldn't let me do it. Just wanted to change "estates" to "states" and mention that "monsignor" is also conferred on a priest of advanced age in lieu of an actual "promotion". It is an honorific and courtesy title.
