The Vatican has published two new documents on the Roman Curia. The documents, currently available only in Italian and signed by Pope Leo, are entitled “General Regulations of the Roman Curia” and “Regulations for the Staff of the Roman Curia.”
The Italian blog Silere Non Possum has published an English-language summary of the new regulations, which replace those issued by St. John Paul II in 1999.
One change involves the language of curial acts. The former regulations stated that curial acts should be drafted “as a rule in Latin”; the new regulations state that “Curial Institutions shall draft their acts as a rule in Latin or in another language.”
