Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Angelo De Donatis as the new chief penitentiary

At the moment the position of vicar general of Rome remains vacant. The Pope, in fact, has not named the successor of Cardinal De Donatis who—after the publication of the Apostolic Constitution In the Communion of Churches, which revolutionized the structure of the Vicariate of Rome—was supported by Mons. Baldassare Reina, appointed vicegerent with the entry into force of said document that has greatly strengthened the figure of the Viceregent.

The appointment of the new vicar general of the Diocese of Rome is especially expected in view of the imminent Jubilee of 2025.
