THE Pope yesterday told the new Papal Nuncio to Ireland that he must display humility and a “restless . . . and watchful heart” as he ordained him an archbishop in Rome.

Monsignor Charles Brown (52) was named Papal Nuncio to Ireland last November.

Papal nuncios serve as diplomatic representatives of the Pope in foreign countries.

Archbishop Brown will travel to Ireland next month, as relations between here and the Vatican are at an all-time low in the wake of the church’s handling of the child sex-abuse scandal.
