An honorary title bestowed upon archbishops and other clergy, a prince of the Church, is what?

• A. Bishop
• B. Cardinal
• C. Celebrant
• D. Hashkava

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that the title described as a “prince of the Church” refers to cardinals. Cardinals are senior church officials appointed by the pope, often from among bishops or high-ranking clergy, who make up the College of Cardinals. Their most famous duty is electing a new pope in a conclave, and they serve as principal advisers to the pope, reflecting a leadership role within the Church. This honorific emphasizes their governance responsibilities at the highest level.

A bishop leads a diocese, but that role is not described as a “prince of the Church.” A celebrant is simply someone who leads a liturgical celebration, not a high-ranking title. Hashkava is not a term used in this Christian context. Therefore, the best answer is cardinal.
