Abbot Hugh Gilbert of Pluscarden Abbey to be new Bishop of Aberdeen

Bishop Moran of Aberdeen has passed the age of retirement and his resignation has been accepted; the new bishop is to be the Abbot of Pluscarden. This is great news as Abbot Hugh knows the Sons already and is well known as a solid and orthodox man.

Congratulations both to him and to the Catholics of Aberdeen! And 'thank you', Holy Father!

There is more on the Sons' own blog.
