THE Pope has appointed a new bishop for Arundel and Brighton.

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Richard Moth, currently Bishop of the Forces, as Bishop of Arundel & Brighton.

Bishop Richard replaces Kieran Conry who, as reported in The Argus last September, had been “unfaithful to [his] promises as a Catholic priest”.

Mr Conry resigned the day before claims in a national newspaper that he had written a love letter to a married woman, who is claimed to have spent several nights at his home.
