Well I’m frustrated. The article should have said up front what a dicastery is. Maybe I missed it in there.

One of the official Vatican congregations through which the Pope conducts the regular administration of the Catholic Church. Some examples are:

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Congregation for the Oriental Churches

Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments

Congregation for the Causes of Saints

Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples

Thanks. So it’s like a new Cabinet-level department of his government.

That would be a strong statement of its importance.

Saving Europe is an ambitious goal, and well worth the effort.
