Cardinal Vincent Nichols has consecrated the new Bishop of Gibraltar, Mgr Carmelo Zammit, advising him that the position “is not a promotion, but a new step on the pathway of holiness, given for God’s own purpose.”

In a homily in St Paul’s Cathedral in Mdina, Malta, where the ordination Mass took place, Cardinal Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, said: “Governance in the name of Jesus has no trace of the patterns of this world’s ways – ‘lording it over them’”, emphasising that it “was a call to serve”.
