John Stanley Kenneth Arnold (born 12 June 1953[1]) is the eleventh Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford.[2] He was formerly an auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster and held the titular see of Lindisfarne.

Arnold was born in Sheffield and attended Mylnhurst Convent School before attending Grace Dieu Manor School and Ratcliffe College, both schools run by the Institute of Charity (Rosminian Fathers). In 1975 he graduated with a law degree from Trinity College, Oxford and completed his legal qualification by being called to the Bar in the Middle Temple in 1976 after studies at the Council of Legal Education.

Arnold left the field of law and entered a seminary to undertake the studies for receiving Holy Orders in the Catholic Church. He was ordained on 16 July 1983 by Cardinal Basil Hume OSB, the Archbishop of Westminster.

Between 1981 and 1985 he studied for a JCD at the Gregoriana. After his ordination he was a chaplain of the cathedral from 1985 to 1988 and from 1988 to 1993 vice-administrator of the cathedral. In 1993 he was appointed pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. George, in Enfield. From 2001 to 2005 he was vicar general and chancellor of the diocese.

In recognition of this work as a priest, he was named a Chaplain of His Holiness.[citation needed] In December 2006 he was named as an auxiliary bishop for Westminster, for which office he was consecrated a bishop by the subsequent Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. He held responsibility for the pastoral care of the deaneries of Barnet, Brent, Enfield, Haringey and Harrow. He was also the chairman for the charity CAFOD, the Catholic Church's aid and development agency.[3] He additionally served as chairman of the Oxford and Cambridge Catholic Education Board.

On 30 September 2014, he was appointed to be the Bishop of Salford and was installed on 8 December 2014.
