PM Lee hails Archbishop Goh's Cardinal role as significant for Catholics in Singapore

Archbishop William Goh, the head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore, will be the first from Singapore to hold the position of Cardinal.

"As it is, I am already so overwhelmed by my responsibilities as bishop for the local church that I have never thought of any other appointments, certainly not to the College of Cardinals," wrote the head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore in a lengthy post on his personal Facebook page. Cardinal-elect Goh wrote that the honour of being appointed by Pope Francis was"an endorsement of the archdiocese's vision"."A greater responsibility is now placed on me beyond the narrow confines of the archdiocese," he added.
