Pope internationalizes Vatican financial watchdog agency
By Carol Glatz
Pope Francis named a slate of new members to the Vatican’s financial watchdog agency, replacing an all-Italian panel with members from Italy, Switzerland, Singapore and the United States.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, also promoted Tommaso Di Ruzza, an Italian, to be the agency’s “ad interim” vice-director. A former official at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Di Ruzza had been an assistant at the financial authority, which is directed by Rene Brulhart.
