Another Curial Appointment

Yesterday we noted that Cardinal Ouellet had been named the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, replacing Cardinal Re. Today, another announcement was made by the Holy See for another prominent curial post:

VATICAN CITY, 1 JUL 2010 (VIS) - The Holy Father appointed Bishop Kurt Koch of Basel, Switzerland, as president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, he succeeds Cardinal Walter Kasper whose resignation from the same office the Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.
