Prelate of Honour of His Holiness

Before the motu proprio Pontificalis Domus of 28 March 1968, Honorary Prelates (HP) were called Domestic Prelates (Latin: Antistites Urbani). Those who held certain offices were also granted the title, such as an Archbishop or Bishop Assistant at the Pontifical Throne or a member of the Roman Prelature. The title was retained by archbishops, bishops and protonotaries apostolic who had been awarded it before their appointment to those positions.[3]

The Prelates of Honor are entitled Reverendo Monsignore (Italian) or Reverendus Monsignor (Latin) (English: Reverend Monsignor).
