Caritas is often the first on the scene to help, and stays on when other humanitarian agencies have left. Pope Francis has removed the top officials of Caritas Internationalis , the Rome-based coordinating body of the 162-nation Catholic charity confederation, and has entrusted temporary administrators with the task of revising its statutes and boosting staff morale.
Obviously caught off guard, they responded at first with stunned silence, followed by forced applause. The Pope has named Francesco Pinelli, a former top executive in the energy sector in Italy, as the temporary CI administrator. He has also appointed Maria Amparo Alonso Escobar, currently the CI advocacy officer and former Caritas representative to the United Nations, as vice-president. Fr Manuel Morujão, a Portuguese Jesuit based in Rome, has been named to provide “personal and spiritual accompaniment of the staff”.
That audit, which revealed “real deficiencies... in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team-spirit and staff morale”, is what prompted Pope Francis to change the CI leadership. It is understood that he and his aides felt that the management in place was too weak to allow Caritas to function properly, especially since the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
