The Vatican's new prefect for the Dicastery for Eastern churches is expected to play a pivotal role in the Holy See's efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Yesterday Pope Francis appointed U.K. nuncio, Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, as prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches.
Born in Verona, northern Italy, in 1955 and ordained a priest in 1982, Archbishop Gugerotti was the papal representative to Ukraine for five years before his appointment as the apostolic nuncio to Great Britain in 2020.
