Archbishop Arthur Roche has been chosen by Pope Francis new leader of the Holy See’s liturgy office. The Leeds-born bishop, 71, succeeds Cardinal Robert Sarah and will be tasked with implementing a renewal of the liturgy as articulated by the Second Vatican Council. #PopeFrancis

The Pope has chosen a Franciscan, Bishop Vittorio Viola, until now Diocese of Tortona, Italy, as the secretary to the congregation. Fr Aurelio García Macías will be under-secretary (he studied liturgy at Sant'Anselmo University, Rome)

Archbishop Roche has been secretary of the divine worship congregation since 2012, acting as the number two official. He was Bishop of Leeds (2004-12) and chairman of ICEL (International Commission on English in the Liturgy) 2002-2012

Correction to the first tweet: Archbishop Roche was born in Batley Carr, West Yorkshire and not in the city of Leeds. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Leeds in 1975.

Cardinal Czerny speaking during a Mass in Rome to mark 40 years since four female missionaries martyred in El Salvador

@jesuitczerny is reading an account of their "passion & death" as described by Fr Gregory Chisholm

He explains the security forces found the "four
American missionaries in the vehicle, they beat them, raped them, and executed each one with a bullet in the head. They buried them in a shallow grave"

The incoming Ronald Reagan administration played down the deaths.

"Alexander Haig- recently nominated as the next Secretary of State - made the shameless and absolutely unfounded suggestion that the Sisters had maybe 'run a roadblock and been killed in an exchange of fire' "

Short thread on Martin Bashir (personal):

Martin has been a colleague for the past several on the religious affairs beat

I have always found him to be a responsible journalist who covers religion seriously and sensitively. I believe he is a person of integrity

The circumstances around his interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, 25 years ago, are subject to an inquiry, and any unethical behaviour should be judged or sanctioned accordingly.

But it’s also true that people are more than the worst thing they have ever done (2/4)

There is plenty of evidence Diana was planning to give a major interview, and she she could make her own decisions on which journalists she wanted to deal with.

I suspect there is also evidence to show that Diana had a relationship of trust with Martin B

The testimony by Archbishop Vigano against #PopeFrancis are important but so is the fine detail and the context of what is being alleged.

There is nothing in Vigano’s testimony that says he informed #PopeFrancis of allegations concerning McCarrick and minors.

The first allegations of grave sexual misconduct with seminarians against McCarrick were made in the Benedict XVI era. After credible claims that McCarrick abused minors came to light, Francis sanctioned McCarrick’s removal from ministry and as a cardinal.

There is no love lost between Vigano and the Pope. Vigano was at the centre of a fiasco involving Kim Davis - a clerk who refused to perform same-sex marriages - meeting the Pope in Washington (at Vigano’s residence). Vatican later stressed the meeting was not a papal endorsement
