(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Guido Pozzo as secretary of
the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei.” Until now Archbishop Pozzo has served as
the Almoner of His Holiness. The Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei” was set
up by Pope John Paul II in 1988 with the aim of facilitating full Ecclesial communion
with those members of the Fraternity founded by Mons Marcel Lefèbvre who wish to remain
united to the successor of Peter in the Catholic Church. The Pope has also appointed
Mons Konrad Krajewski as Almoner of His Holiness. Mons. Krajewski previously served
as the pontifical ceremonial usher. The Apostolic Almoner is the Holy See’s office
which oversees acts of charity toward the poor on behalf of the Pope.
