A Secretariat of Communications. As part of the plans to reorganise the Curia, the Vatican is looking into the possibility of introducing a central coordination body along the lines of the Vatican structure for the Economy. All communications sections (which are currently split into various Curia offices: press office, Pontifical Council for Social Communications, CTV, Vatican radio, L’Osservatore Romano) would be centralized and grouped into one single entity.

Last Wednesday, Vatican spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, spoke at the professional seminar held by the Faculty of Institutional Communications at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross on the theme: “Creative Strategies for Promoting Cultural Change”. In his speech – a summary of which was given by Vatican Radio – he announced an update to the communication of the Holy Father’s message to the world. And so we have yet seen everything: there are still many things we have to learn and see.”
