The Catholic Bishops Conference in Sri Lanka today clarified that Pastor Jerome Fernando was not a Bishop of the Catholic Church, and therefore the members of its church should not be deceived.Â
“Jerome Fernando, who has no official apostolic succession in the Catholic church, is not a Catholic Bishop, hence we request our Catholic faithful not to be deceived by such information,†a statement signed by Bishops Conference Secretary General Rev J. D. Anthony Jayakody said.
“Catholic Bishop is a continuation of the successors of Jesus’s apostles. Every Catholic Bishop is one of the direct successors of eleven apostles, except for Apostle Peter who is the head of the apostles. The director successor of St. Peter is the Pope,†the statement added.
