Back in August, I posted about the current status of Cardinal Law as Ecclesiastical Delegate for the Pastoral Provision. He’s been assigned to a new position.
While retaining, from as much as I can tell, his Pastoral Provision post, Cardinal Law has been appointed as archpriest of the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major. In short, as “archpriest” he represents or substitutes for his bishop for a specific event or responsibility. In this case, the cardinal-archpriest is put in charge of one of the major basilicas of Rome in place of the Pope.
