Honoring... close relationship

"It is led by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, a French priest, who is the nuncio, or ambassador from the Vatican to the United States. Pierre appeared in Newark on Thursday night at a Mass honoring the archbishop there, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, and Tobin’s close relationship to Pope Francis." (The Washington Post.)

Is "Tobin's close relationship to Pope" the object (complement) of the verb "honoring" in the passage above?
