Bishop Richard Moth was installed as the new Archbishop of Westminster at Westminster Cathedral on 14 February 2026, succeeding Cardinal Vincent Nichols who retired at the age of 80.
In a wide-ranging and reflective conversation days before his installation, he spoke to Roger Bolton about the challenges facing the church, his hopes for the future, and the vision that will guide his ministry. Known for his strong pastoral focus and advocacy on prisons, refugees and social justice, he reflects on service, leadership and the inherent dignity of every person.
