The Holy See has announced the appointment of Bishop Anthony Randazzo as Prefect of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts.
The Bishop of Broken Bay will take up the post while remaining in Australia for three months as apostolic administrator before relocating to Rome. In a public statement on Facebook, he responded with characteristic restraint, writing: “I am deeply grateful to Pope Leo for the trust he has placed in me.” He added that his years in Broken Bay had been “a true joy” and said: “I remain ever grateful to God, who has entrusted me with the care of his flock,” asking for prayers as he prepares for the new responsibility.
