in partibus infidelium
  21

IN PARTIBUS INDIDELIUM The Catholic Church conferred until 1886 an honorary title called in partibus infidelium, 'in the land of infidels' to defenders of the church abroad, but who had no faithful in its custody. Today it means an honoris causa style title that is bestowed, but not exercised.
