VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis appointed a Detroit auxiliary bishop to a
Guam archdiocese whose leader is under a Vatican investigation for the
alleged sexual abuse of minors. Coadjutor Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes, 58, also was given "special
faculties" or authority in the Archdiocese of Agana, according to a
Vatican press release Oct. 31.
The appointment came several weeks after the apostolic administrator of the Agana Archdiocese requested the Vatican remove the current leader, Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron, and name a successor. A coadjutor archbishop – as opposed to an auxiliary bishop – immediately succeeds an archbishop who retires or dies
