A historical, theological and juridical explanation of the nature of the Roman CuriaThe Roman Curia is the central body for the administration of the Roman Catholic Church. Its structure and organization is governed by Praedicate Evangelium, a new law issued by Pope Francis in 2022. The nature of the Curia is both confusing to many and vitally important for the administration of the Church and the Vatican.The Roman Curia provides a historical, theological, and juridical explanation of the nature of the Roman Curia, highlighting its relationship to the Pope.

My hope is that every reader of The Roman Curia–whether a seminarian, ambassador, journalist, academic, professor or student of theology and Canon Law–will understand Pope Francis' reform as making clear that communion and mission are the chief tasks of the Roman Curia, with synodality and subsidiarity as its operating principles.
