  • The Bishopric of the Forces is the Latin-rite Catholic military ordinariate which provides chaplains to the British Armed Forces across the United Kingdom and overseas. The chaplains are drawn from the dioceses of England, Wales and Scotland, and from some religious institutes. Chaplains have spiritual and pastoral care of military personnel and their families. The current Bishop of the Forces is the Rt. Rev. Richard Moth, who was ordained as bishop on 29 September 2009, in succession to Rt. Rev. Thomas Matthew Burns, now Bishop of Menevia. There is sometimes confusion between the holder of this post and the Anglican "Bishop to the Forces": for this reason the former is normally referred to as, "the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Forces".
