US EditionPope tweaks a law allowing a woman to head the Vatican City State, months after a nun was appointed
The legal amendment removes the cardinal-only requirement after Sister Raffaella Petrini became the first woman president of the Vatican City State administration.
- Pope Leo XIV amended a 2023 law to allow a non-cardinal to head the Vatican City State administration, months after Pope Francis appointed Sister Raffaella Petrini as the first woman to that role.
- The appointment of Petrini, a 56-year-old Italian nun, created legal issues as previous heads had been cardinals, excluding her from certain meetings.
- Leo suggested Petrini's appointment was not a one-off, stating shared responsibility would consolidate solutions for increasingly complex governance needs.
