Bishop (now Archbishop) Salvatore (Rino) Fisichella, Rector of the Pontifical Lateran University, was named today president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, leaving his position as Auxiliary Bishop of Rome.
Fisichella had been regularly mentioned as the substitute of Archbishop Angelo Amato, the current Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. His nomination for a very different and minor position today, the first move in the expected Curial shuffle of the next few weeks, indicates that the Pope has other names in mind for the CDF.
