A New Broom In Tuam

 Archbishop-elect of Tuam Francis Duffy at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Tuam, Galway this morning

This morning/afternoon.

Tuam, county Galway.

Via The Irish Catholic:

Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop-elect Francis Duffy to succeed the retiring Archbishop of Tuam Michael Neary,…

The archbishop-elect was “surprised and humbled” by the announcement, he told the congregation gathered at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Tuam, Galway.

In his address, he added that for the Church to move forward, “we must listen to all who have been hurt by their experience of Church”, while paying testimony to the “vital role” of the clergy”.

Meanwhile…

Primate of All-Ireland Archbishop Eamon Martin wished Dr Duffy “every blessing” in his new role, saying:

“He has already made significant contributions to the Bishops’ Conference in the fields of finance and administration, Catholic education, liturgy, pastoral renewal and adult faith development.

“With the help of God’s grace, and with the support and prayers of the faithful, he will now bring these gifts to the service of the Church in the West of Ireland.”

      Ok, borrowing Bodger’s headline and your opening:

      There once was a bishop called Duffy
      Who found his new place to be stuffy.
      We need a new broom
      To sort out things in Tuam
      And to do this I must be a toughie.
