Pope Leo XIV has confirmed the election of a heterodox priest who supports “women’s ordination” to be the new bishop of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Father Beat Grögli, the pastor of the Cathedral of St. Gallen, will be the new bishop of the diocese on Wednesday. The day before, he was elected by the cathedral chapter, a group of 13 local priests.
Due to the Concordat of 1845 between the Holy See and the Catholic Swiss state Church authority, the bishop of St. Gallen is chosen by the cathedral chapter with input from the local Catholic College, a type of church parliament that is elected by the Catholics in the diocese and also consists of laypeople. The Holy See can then confirm or deny the elected man as bishop.
