Patrick Altham Kelly PHL KC*HS (born 23 November 1938) is an English prelate of the Roman Catholic Church . He is the archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Liverpool following his resignation which took effect on 27 February 2013;[ 1] Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales .
Kelly was born in Morecambe, Lancashire , educated at Preston Catholic College ,[ 2] ordained to the priesthood on 18 February 1962, at the Venerable English College , in Rome .[ 3]
Kelly taught systematic theology in Oscott Seminary and in 1978 became the Seminary's rector.
On 9 March 1984, Kelly was appointed Bishop of Salford by Pope John Paul II . He ordained to the episcopate on the following 3 April by Bishop Thomas Holland, the co-consecrators being archbishops Derek Worlock and Maurice Couve de Murville . Kelly was to be appointed Archbishop of Liverpool by Pope John Paul II on 21 May 1996.[ 3]
In early 2012, Kelly celebrated the Golden Jubilee of his priestly ordination. He began the celebrations with a Mass at the local Carmelite convent and on the following day there was a solemn Mass in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. The Mass was concelebrated, among others, by Cardinals Cormac Murphy-O'Connor and Jean-Louis Tauran , by the papal nuncios to Britain and Guatemala, Archbishops Mennini and Gallagher , along with Archbishop (later Cardinal) Vincent Nichols .
In his leisure time Kelly is said to enjoy listening to classical music and attending concerts, especially those given by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.[ 4]
On the morning of 10 December 2012, Kelly was admitted to hospital after suffering a mild stroke, his condition being described at the time as "comfortable".[ 5]
Given the suffering caused by the stroke, Kelly was advised to take a lengthy period of convalescence, which he spent in Lancashire. Although he still had a year left in office before he was required by canon law to tender his resignation, it was announced on Monday 7 January 2013, that he had chosen to submit his resignation to Pope Benedict XVI , and on 27 February 2013 the Pope's acceptance was made public.[ 1] Malcolm McMahon , Bishop of Nottingham , was appointed by Pope Francis to succeed Kelly as Archbishop of Liverpool.
Kelly was opposed to making agreements with the Society of Saint Pius X , citing the need to defend the legacy of the Second Vatican Council.[ 6]
