Despite speculation that Cardinal George Pell might step down shortly after his 75th
birthday on June 8, Pell’s office said Thursday that Pope Francis has
confirmed the Australian prelate as the Vatican’s top financial official
until at least 2019.
The news came in a statement from Pell’s office in Rome, after a Thursday visit by Pope Francis to the offices of the Secretariat for the Economy, the body created by the pope in 2014 to be the Vatican’s new lead agency for financial administration.
