Pope Francis named him to succeed Cardinal George Pell, who heads the Vatican’s newly created Secretariat for the Economy.
Archbishop Fisher entered the Dominicans in 1985 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1991. In 2000, he was appointed foundation director of the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family in Melbourne, Australia, where he remains a professor of moral theology and bioethics.
In 2003, Pope St. Pope John Paul II appointed Father Fisher as an auxiliary bishop of Sydney. He served as bishop coordinator of World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney. On Jan. 8, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him the third bishop of Parramatta.
Archbishop Fisher has published extensively in bioethics and moral theology and is the author of Catholic Bioethics for a New Millennium (Cambridge University Press, 2011). Since 2004, he has been an ordinary member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
He recently participated in an email interview with Tom Wehner, the Register’s managing editor.
