FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Prélat

Prélat: A bishop or archbishop, designated by the Pope.

As seen in: « Certains prélats ont apporté leur soutien au régime de Bachar Al-Assad, quand d’autres ont condamné les violences ou sont restés silencieux. Mais aucun n’a apporté son soutien au soulèvement syrien. »

(Translation: “Certain bishops showed their support for Bachar Al-Assad’s regime, while others condemned the violence or remained silent.  But none gave their support to the Syrian uprising.”)
