Cardinal's honorific

Answer:

HISEMINENCE

Hint:

This title is often used when addressing a high-ranking bishop or archbishop in formal Catholic ceremonies. Think of the phrase that starts with "His" and ends with a word meaning great distinction.

Explanation:

"Cardinal's honorific" refers to the formal title used when addressing a high-ranking Catholic cardinal. The answer "HISEMINENCE" combines "His" (a respectful prefix) with "Eminence" (the traditional honorific for cardinals, like "Your Eminence"). It’s a straightforward definition clue—no wordplay—just a direct nod to the title’s structure. Think of it like "His Majesty" for a king, but for church leaders.
