The Pope has appointed a new coadjutor bishop of the Catholic Church in Guam, the US island territory in the Western Pacific, while a suspended archbishop faces a Church trial for allegedly sexually abusing altar boys, a Church leader said today.
Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai, the temporary apostolic administrator, told a news conference that Pope Francis has given Bishop Michael Jude Byrnes, the auxiliary bishop of Detroit, special rights to carry out all the duties as archbishop effective immediately.
