Opaque Personnel Policy

Francis appointed Archbishop Jan Romeo Pawłowski, 62, as Apostolic Nuncio to Greece on 1 December.

In December 2020, Pawłowski became head of the Third Department of the Secretariat of State, which is responsible for the personnel of the nunciatures, but was already dismissed in September 2022 under mysterious circumstances.

Pawłowski's predecessor in Athens was the Chinese-born Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai, S.D.B., a friend of Cardinal Zen.

Francis fired Hon from Propaganda Fidei in October 2017 and shipped him off to Greece to pave the way for his controversial secret agreement with China.

Since when does an archbishop carry the papal ferula?

You have to puzzle at how the Vatican divides into all these dicasteries, departments, secretariats, etc., etc., chanceries, deaneries. This not the doing of Christ.

There is nothing wrong with all these dicasteries and departments, secretariats etc. What needs to be done by the new Pope, is to get rid of all the ones Paul VI or JPII established, because they reek of Vatican II (JUstice and Peace commission, Interreligious Dialog, etc.) Then the Roman Curia would be more a manageable entity. Also clean house of all the Bergoglians/Homosexuals. Then, when each office of the Curia returns to traditon, and promotes the ROMAN CATHOLIC faith and tradition as always done before 1965, then those offices will be truely doing the work of the Church, AND of Christ.
