I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:

Era in (hi(=greeting) + R{oman} C{atholic}) + hic(=latin for this). I’m not entirely sure about “hic” for this. I’ve never studied Latin but, according to the dictionaries I’ve consulted, hic is “here” and hoc is “this” but maybe there are some contexts where they overlap.
