Surprisingly, Pope Francis shifted Polvani to the irrelevant Pontifical Council for the Culture where he will be a second under-secretary. He is therefore no longer in Holy See’s diplomatic service.
Polvani’s place was taken by Monsignor Mauro Carlino, a protégé of the former Deputy Secretary of State, Angelo Becci, who now is a cardinal.
According to Italian media the changes were decided by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Parolin, and his deputy, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, who is considered a homosexual.
