Overview
- Spanish Augustinian Msgr. Luis Marín de San Martín, 65, is appointed Papal Almoner and prefect of the Dicastery for Charity after serving as undersecretary of the Synod Secretariat.
- Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, 62, leaves the Vatican charity office after roughly 12 years known for hands‑on outreach in Rome and missions to Ukraine and Lesbos.
- His 2019 restoration of electricity in an occupied Rome building drew an ACEA complaint and a Rome prosecutor’s file for suspected damage and electricity theft.
- Coverage frames the appointment as part of a broader personnel reordering and a push toward “normalization” under the new pontificate.
- Krajewski said he accepted the Łódź assignment in good will, noting the diocese’s 2.5 million residents and his readiness to serve, while Marín pledged to heed the cry of the poor.
