Cardinal Robert McElroy has officially become archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington. It means an outspoken liberal within the Church and a vocal critic of Donald Trump will now lead the diocese that houses the US seat of government that has taken a significant conservative turn since President Trump returned to power.
During a nearly two-hour liturgy in which he was installed as the eighth archbishop of Washington, Cardinal McElroy encouraged the faithful of his new archdiocese to be “pilgrims of hope in a wounded world”, reportsOSV News.
