Vatican reshuffles top posts: new General Affairs chief, Italy nuncio, and Papal Household prefect
Pope Leo XIV named Archbishop Paolo Rudelli the new Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, moving him from Apostolic Nuncio to Colombia; Edgar Peña Parra becomes Apostolic Nuncio to Italy, succeeding Petar Rajič, who is appointed Prefect of the Papal Household, a post vacant for over six years. The changes underscore ongoing Vatican diplomacy and internal administration, with Rudelli’s appointment marking a major leadership shift in the Secretariat and Rajič returning to Italy to head the Pope’s household.
