Curial changes in motion - II

The Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, Cardinal Vallini, was named today Vicar General of His Holiness for the Diocese of Rome, replacing Cardinal Ruini. Vallini had been mentioned for months as Ruini's substitute.

The Archdiocese of Saint Louis loses its great pastor, Archbishop Burke, named by the Pope to replace Vallini as the new Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura. May the Archdiocese be blessed with a worthy successor - prayers are in order.
