Francis Cuts Off “Feet and Hands” of Vatican II

Praedicate Evangelium that comes into force on June 5 removes all Pontifical Councils, institute by Paul VI (+1978) to give "feet and hands" to the requests of Vatican II.

This regards the Pontifical Council for the Laity, the Family, for Social Communications, the Union of Christians, for Justice and Peace, “Cor Unum,” for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, for the Pastoral Care of Health Care Workers, for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts, for Inter-Religious Dialogue, and for Culture.

The latter three will be upgraded to dicasteries.
