Pope Francis made key appointments in his newly reformed Vatican bureaucracy, naming new deputies for the doctrine office and confirming the highest-ranked woman in the Holy See as the No. 2 in the development office.
Pope Francis attends an audience with members of the"Madonna of tears" community of Treviglio, northern Italy, at the Pope Paul VI hall at the Vatican, Saturday, April 23, 2022.
Francis promoted Irish Monsignor John Kennedy to head the discipline section of the newly named Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, which handles clergy sexual abuse cases. In a 2019 interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy said the office had seen a “tsunami” of cases from parts of the world that had previously not reported any.
Francis also confirmed the new leadership of the Vatican office for human development, which groups together the Holy See’s departments responsible for, the environment, charity as well as its COVID-19 response. Heading that office is Czech-born Canadian Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Jesuit like Francis who was recently dispatched by the pope to Ukraine and its border areas as a sign of solidarity with refugees fleeing the war.
