Vaticano Update
Hello and welcome to this week’s Vaticano Updates – the most important news from the Holy Father and the Vatican.
New Cardinal Protodeacon
French Cardinal Dominique Mamberti has been appointed Protodeacon of the Vatican. In this role, he will announce the new pope after a conclave, beginning with the famous Latin words, "Habemus Papam." Since 2014, Mamberti has served as prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature.
World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation
Pope Francis urged the faithful to extend Christian charity to all of God's creation and commit to protecting the environment. He made these remarks in a message ahead of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, observed annually on September 1 since its establishment by the pope in 2015.
No Tattoos for Vatican Employees
Pope Francis has issued new regulations for employees of the Fabric of St. Peter, requiring them to profess the Catholic faith, wear appropriate clothing, and avoid visible tattoos or piercings. Employees must provide baptism and confirmation certificates, live according to Catholic principles, and have no criminal record.
Vatican Plans to Go Solar
In his latest motu proprio, titled Fratello Sole (“Brother Sun”), Pope Francis announced measures to transition Vatican City to solar energy as its primary electricity source. He has directed Vatican governing bodies to collaborate with Italian authorities to build an "agrivoltaic system" in Santa Maria di Galeria, an extraterritorial area outside Rome, for farming and solar energy production.
Pope Francis to Canonize ‘Martyrs of Damascus’
On October 20th, Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass of canonization for 14 people, including the 11 "Martyrs of Damascus," who were murdered out of hatred for the faith on the night of July 9–10, 1860, in Damascus, Syria. The canonization date for Blessed Carlo Acutis will be announced later.
