Best Answer

The term (literally "in the breast") means an appointment of someone Cardinal, but it is not announced publically.

from Wikipedia

In pectore (Latin for "in the breast/heart") is a term used in the Catholic Church to refer to appointments to the College of Cardinals by the Pope whose names are not publicly revealed (viz., reserved by the Pope "in his bosom"). This right of the pope is rarely exercised, usually in circumstances where the pope wants to make a statement for later historians about the honour due a particular cleric, while not wanting to endanger that same cleric in his present circumstances of persecution.

"Pectoral" refers to something related to the chest or breast. It can also refer to an adornment worn on the chest, such as a pectoral muscle or a pectoral cross worn by clergy members.
