Pope Francis will name a Spanish prelate, Cardinal Santos Abril y Castello, to chair the commission of cardinals supervising the work of the Vatican bank, the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), according to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the former Secretary of State, has been chairing the supervisory commission. When he stepped down as Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone asked to remain in his post with the IRS commission until the completion of a report by European banking inspectors, which was delivered in December.
Pope Francis is expected to announce a complete overhaul of the supervisory commission within the next few days, according to Corriere della Sera.
