Has there been a power shift in the Vatican under Pope Francis? Has
the Secretariat of State lost its traditional role as the pope’s main
adviser, being replaced by the council of cardinals that Francis
established soon after his election? Where will power lie once the
reform of the Roman Curia has been completed?
These questions are being asked in the Vatican today as the council of cardinal advisers plays a highly significant role in advising, offering suggestions or making proposals to the Argentine pope.
