The Bishop of The Bishopric of the Forces is the Rt Revd Thomas Matthew Burns (born 1944). This Latin-rite Catholic diocese covers British Forces across the United Kingdom and overseas. The chaplains are drawn from the dioceses of England, Wales and Scotland from some religious orders. Chaplains have spiritual and pastoral care of military personnel and their families.
There is sometimes confusion between the holder of this post and the "Bishop to the Forces" (who is always Anglican): for this reason the former is normally referred to by his full title, i.e. as "The Catholic Bishop of the Forces"
[edit] Location
The cathedral is the Cathedral Church of St. Michael and St. George, Queens Avenue, Aldershot, Hampshire, England. The diocesan office is based in Aldershot, Hampshire.
