Church must learn from abuse victims, says new Catholic Archbishop
Installed as leader of 4 million Catholics, Archbishop Moth emphasized listening to abuse victims and addressing social justice challenges including refugee support.
- Saturday's installation at Westminster Cathedral saw Archbishop Richard Moth, 12th Archbishop of Westminster, address a 2,000-strong congregation.
- The Vatican named him in December and he succeeds Cardinal Vincent Nichols, who stepped down after 16 years, as president of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales leading four million Catholics.
- The installation mass followed Friday's service of solemn vespers attended by clergy and representatives of schools, parishes and Catholic organisations.
- Moth urged the Church to listen to and learn from victims of abuse, calling for renewed protection of the vulnerable and refugees while emphasizing social justice and accountability.
- He warned the Church's `vital` evangelical work is `fragile` and adversely impacted by failures, drawing on a decade as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton while Mullally aims to strengthen Churches Together in England.
