The Organization of the Roman Curia Is Now Complete With Two New Nominations
Mgr. Luis Ladaria Ferrer
The month of January saw the Holy Father make two new nominations to the Roman Curia, completing those of the new cardinals announced on December 23, 2017.
On January 11, 2018, the Holy See Press Office announced the nomination of Archbishop Luis Ladaria Ferrer, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, as member of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. Archbishop Ferrer will thus join this Council along with the Swedish cardinal Anders Arborelius, who was also made a member on December 23. On the same day, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, was made a member of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints.
In December, the 14 cardinals created during the 2016 and 2017 consistories all received their assignments. Cardinal Mario Zenari, nuncio in Syria, became a member of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches, and Cardinal Juan José Omella became a member of the Congregation for Bishops and of the Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.
