Pope appoints Trump critic to be archbishop of Washington, DC, and appoints first female leader of a Vatican department

Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Wilton Gregory, a known critic of former President Donald Trump, as the new Archbishop of Washington, D.C. This appointment comes at a time when the Vatican is also making history by appointing its first female leader of a Vatican department, Sister Nathalie Becquart, who will serve as the undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops. Cardinal Gregory, who has previously served as the Archbishop of Atlanta, has been vocal about his disapproval of Trump's policies, particularly those affecting immigrants and the poor. His appointment is seen as a move to strengthen the Church's stance on social justice issues in the U.S. capital. Meanwhile, Sister Becquart's role signifies a step towards greater inclusion of women in the Church's decision-making processes, although she does not have voting rights in the Synod. These appointments reflect Pope Francis's ongoing efforts to reform and modernize the Vatican's approach to governance and inclusivity.
