Catholic Friendly Bishop Resigns at 66
Byrne said that after prayer and reflection, he had concluded that “the office of the Diocesan Bishop has become too great a burden and feel I can no longer serve the people of the Diocese in the way I would wish.“
He was appointed only in 2019. He is an Oratorian, founder and former provost of the excellent Oxford Oratory and open-minded towards the Roman Mass. During his time in Oxford he introduced a weekly Roman Mass.
