Pope Francis' first Curia appointment resounds. Not only did he put his own guy in the Curia, but he demoted the guy he's replacing. And guess who that guy was?
The 60-year-old Carballo, who was also elevated to archbishop, replaces U.S. Archibishop Joseph Tobin, who was transferred from the high-ranking Vatican post to the Indianapolis archdiocese of fewer than 230,000 parishioners following his efforts to resolve tensions between the Vatican and U.S. nuns. Some theological conservatives had complained that the nuns had become too secular and political.
This is very positive.
