(Vatican Radio) Archbishop Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s new Secretary of State, arrived
in the Vatican on Saturday and will be in his office at the Apostolic Palace as of
Monday.
Archbishop Parolin was installed as Secretary of State in absentia
on 15 October, due to an unexpected surgical procedure he had to undergo that day.
Fr. Federico Lombardi, director of the Holy See Press Office, made the announcement
and said the archbishop thanks the Pope and those who were close to him in this period.
The
archbishop will reside at the Casa Santa Marta for the time being.
