In less than a month and a half, Pope Francis will install Franciscan Sister Raffaella Petrini as head of the General Secretariat of the Government of the Vatican City State. The change will take effect in March, when Sister Raffaella, who currently serves as secretary in the same department, replaces Spanish Cardinal Fernando Vérgez, who will turn 80 in a month and a half. Francis announced the appointment during an interview on the Italian television program Che Tempo Che Fa (“What’s the Weather Like?”).
