VATICAN CITY
Rome Reports
[with video]
Pope Francis and his nine cardinal advisers continue working relentlessly on redesigning the Vatican. The select group expanded to include Secretary of State Pietro Parolin. The move merely reflects reality, since Parolin has participated in all meetings, but with a lower profile, given that he was not a full member.
There is only one photograph of their meeting, and a statement from the Vatican explained what three topics the group has talked about so far.
Card. Giuseppe Bertello explained to the Council the governance of the Vatican City State, which he currently presides.
Card. Pietro Parolin also presented a report on the duties and the situation of the Secretariat of State.
Afterward, the nine cardinals and the Pope analyzed “in depth the new structure” of the IOR or Vatican Bank.
