Pope Francis chooses fellow Argentine Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez to be the head of body tasked with promoting and safeguarding doctrine on faith and morals.
Pope Francis has named an Argentine theologian and prolific author, who decades ago wrote a book on the healing properties of kissing, to be the Catholic Church’s new doctrinal chief – one of the Vatican’s top posts.
The DDF, modern-day successor of the notorious Inquisition, which persecuted heretics, is tasked with promoting and safeguarding doctrine on faith and morals. It monitors theological work to make sure it adheres to Church doctrine and issues guidance, clarifications, and corrections. In 1995, as a 33-year-old priest, he wrote a book called “Heal Me With Your Mouth – The Art of Kissing,” which was published in English in 2017.
“The kiss is a meeting of the two in a moment in which there is nothing else besides them, and nothing else matters,” Fernandez wrote in the book.
