Westminster’s New Prelate: Another Cog in the Conciliar Machine
Catholic News Agency reports the appointment of Richard Moth as “archbishop” of Westminster by “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The article frames Moth’s career as exemplary – emphasizing his work in prison chaplaincy, criminal justice reform, and nominal pro-life advocacy. It highlights his administrative roles: judicial vicar, chancellor, and bishop of Arundel and Brighton since 2015. Notably, the piece praises Moth for permitting limited Traditional Latin Masses despite Traditionis Custodes while characterizing him as “sound on doctrine” yet not “traditionalist.” The retiring “cardinal” Vincent Nichols effusively welcomes Moth’s appointment, recalling his earlier episcopal ordination under Benedict XVI.
