THE cleric set to become the next head of the Catholic Church in
Ireland has pledged to work to heal the wounds of those who have lost
trust in the institution.
Eamon Martin delivered a call for renewal in the church as he was
ordained into an interim post ahead of eventually succeeding current
Primate of All Ireland Cardinal Sean Brady.
The Derry-born former teacher today became Coadjutor Archbishop of
Armagh and will act as an assistant to Cardinal Brady for at least
another two years.
The 52-year-old takes up his new post after a period of unprecedented
turmoil for the church in Ireland, during which its influence has been
damaged by a series of clerical child abuse scandals.
