Pope Leo XIV on Thursday entrusted the Vatican’s charity works to a fellow Augustinian, signaling a line of continuity with Pope Francis who had elevated the centuries-old job to a position of action and prominence that helped define his legacy.
Leo named Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, a Spanish member of Leo's religious order and an undersecretary in the Vatican’s synod office, as his chief almsgiver and prefect of the Vatican’s charity office.
