The head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI has appointed a new Archbishop of Warsaw.
The move follows the resignation of Warsaw Archbishop Stanislaw Wielgus, who stepped down just hours before his installation Mass on January 7 as he admitted his ties with the communist-era secret police.
Kazimierz Nycz, 57, who was the Bishop of Koszalin-Kolobrzeg in north Poland, will now take up the vacant role.
Following the announcement, Bishop Nycz spoke about how the decision was a "difficult" one, but also that he saw it as a "gift" to be given the responsibility of the Warsaw Church.
He told the Vatican Radio: "With great and truly unhidden humility I stand before all this."
