Pro-asylum seeker bishop appointed head of Catholic Church in England

Richard Moth, the incoming Archbishop of Westminster, likened Mary, Joseph and Jesus to migrants arriving in Britain

The newly appointed head of the Catholic Church in England compared Jesus, Mary and Joseph to migrants arriving in Britain.

Bishop Richard Moth, the Bishop of Arundel & Brighton since 2015, said the Holy Family had to travel to Egypt as refugees and called on Catholics to “empathise with all who come to this country for their safety”.

On Friday, Pope Leo XIV announced him as the 12th Archbishop of Westminster.
