Is the honeymoon over for Leo XIV?

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV moved Cardinal Mauro Gambetti from his position as archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica to the archdiocese of Chieti-Vasto.

Gambetti, 60, succeeds 77-year-old Archbishop Bruno Forte. Gambetti's tenure at the Vatican basilica, a post he received in 2021 that manages significant resources and real estate, was marked by controversy. Christopher R. Altieri of Crux reports that the move to Chieti-Vasto is not viewed as a promotion and represents a notable change in Vatican personnel management.

The appointment follows a period where the Pope faced challenges regarding curial reform, clerical sexual abuse, and synodality. Vatican observers are now monitoring the Pope's upcoming choice to replace Gambetti at St. Peter's.
