He's a hypocrite.

How so? According to the information posted at your link ...

Pope Francis has stopped granting priests the honorary title of "monsignor" in advance of an October meeting ...

Some have criticized the practice, saying it leads to an air of careerism in the church.

The title is honorific and the pope suspended granting it in advance of an October meeting.

Why is this issue so important to you?

The issue is not what is important to me. The issue is why does the pope now praise those who hold an "honorific" title, the same title he has suspended granting.
