VATICAN CITY — Being named a bishop isn't an honor, but a call to special service, Pope Francis said.
Ordaining new bishops for the first time in his pontificate, Pope Francis told them the “responsibility of a bishop is to serve rather than to dominate.”
During an evening Mass Oct. 24 in St. Peter's Basilica, the pope laid hands on and ordained Archbishops Jean-Marie Speich, the new nuncio to Ghana, and Giampiero Gloder, the new president of the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, which trains Vatican diplomats.
