Leo XIV Begins Personnel Changes with Appointment of Cardinal Gambetti
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti as Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto, marking the first significant personnel change during his pontificate. Gambetti previously served as Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica and was known for reforms there. The move is seen as a shift from the previous administration under Archbishop Bruno Forte, who had faced criticism. Additionally, Leo XIV may consider replacing several dicasteries’ heads due to their age, including Cardinal Arthur Roche at the Dicastery of Divine Worship, potentially appointing Archbishop Ravelli or promoting Archbishop Viola to cardinalate. These changes reflect a new direction in the Leonine pontificate. More: Monday Vatican
