Just as an honorary doctorate wouldn't qualify someone to be a brain surgeon, neither would an honorary degree on its own qualify someone to be on the scholastic committee that leads an manuscript translation.
Looks like Pentecost isn't the only group struggling with this issue/phenom. Quite big in Christian Fundie circles too:

So you can't name a person granted an honorary MD degree. Even entering this country, they have to re-do their internships, residency and take board exams. I have known catholic Nuns that had actual doctorates. I have never met one that was an MD. Some were nursing or science, education doctorates. There are many very strong schools that do not grant Honorary degrees.
