Vatican: Big Reforms - Little Results

The situation is similar in the new "Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development", that united four councils: Justice and Peace, Care of Migrants, Assistance to Health Care Workers, and Cor Unum. A secretary and an undersecretary have been named, but the old offices work like before. It is not clear, what the dicastery is supposed to do.
The Vatican "Secretariat for the Economy" had a similar fate. In 2014 Pope Francis provided it with sweeping powers. But slowly it was reduced to a mere supervisory authority with no influence on how the money is spent.
