Pope Francis Announces Reforms for the Vatican Bureaucracy | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Reaction continues to pour in after the announcement yesterday that Pope Francis has released his reforms for the Vatican bureaucracy. The document brings changes to the structure of the administration at the Holy See known as the Roman Curia. Among the biggest moves is that any Catholic lay person, man or woman, can now head a Vatican office. The reforms are set to take effect on June 5th, which is the Solemnity of Pentecost. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about the document and why it was released now. Thonhauser explains some of the specific changes and what effect they will have on the Catholic Church and its estimated 1.2 billion faithful. Today there is another Roman Nights event being hosted by the Vatican Bureau. The Vatican Bureau Chief shares more on that.
