The new lieutenant of the grand master of the Knights of Malta will lead efforts to reform the order following a tumultuous period that brought to light many of the ancient institution's internal disputes.
Fra' Giacomo Dalla Torre, elected on April 29 to lead the Knights of Malta for a one-year period, will work on a constitutional reform that "will address potential institutional weaknesses," the order said in a press release following the election.
"The recent crisis has shown some weaknesses in the checks and balances in governance," it said. "The reform will take this into consideration."
