In a move to restore the reputation of the Vatican Bank, Pope Francis has reshuffled most of the cardinals from the oversight body of the institution, replacing all but one of predecessor Pope Benedict XVI's appointments.

Pope Francis appointed four cardinals to give new blood to the five member body tasked with overseeing the reform inside the very secretive institution. The new members of the consortium are the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Francis’s close friend Cardinal Santos Abril y Castello. The other new members are Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, Archbishop of Vienna and Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto. The one holdover was French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran.

 

On February 16, 2013, a few days before announcing his resignation, Pope Benedict XVI had confirmed the members of the supervisory board of the bank for five years. Among them was the assistant secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who has been widely accused by many for the administrative failures of the Vatican under the rule of Pope Benedict.

 

The cardinals’ commission is tasked with approval of the overall strategy of the institution including charity work as well as reviewing accounts. It is a de facto link between the Pope and the board of superintendence, consisting of five lay men from around the world. Last February, Ernst Von Freyberg was appointed as the new president of the bank.
