Pope Francis had appointed him archbishop of the Czech capital when he was already 73 years old, in 2022, so his ministry at the head of the archdiocese of the Czech capital has been very short. Absurd appointment for just over three years. One of Francisco’s incomprehensible whims. Which were not good for either the appointee or the diocese.
