Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union Elects New Leader | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A group of Catholic bishops based in Europe has elected a new leader. It was part of the group's 2023 assembly held this week in Rome. The Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union has a new president. Bishop Mariano Crociata was elected during the plenary assembly. A 70-year-old Italian, Bishop Crociata is replacing Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich from Luxembourg, whose 5-year term has ended. From 2008-2013, Bishop Crociata served as Secretary General of the Italian Bishops' Conference. Recently, he has been serving as Vice President of the European bishops. Founded in 1980, COMECE represents the Catholic Church in many European institutions. Its new leader says he was a little overwhelmed after learning of his new role. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, has more. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
