Papal nuncio set to attend ordination

The Pope’s representative in Ireland, Charles Brown, will be the principal ordaining bishop later this month at the ordination of Canon William Crean as bishop of Cloyne.

The papal nuncio had a major role in the selection of Canon Crean as successor to Bishop John Magee.

Bishop Magee stepped down from the role four years ago following outrage at his handling of clerical sex abuse complaints in the diocese. He later resigned.
