 Pope Appoints Sister Simona Brambilla as First Female Head of Vatican Department


Pope Francis has appointed Sister Simona Brambilla as the first woman to lead a Vatican department, making her the head of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. This historic appointment marks a significant step in the Pope's efforts to reform the governance of the Catholic Church.


Brambilla, 59, a former nurse with missionary experience in Mozambique, was previously the deputy of the dicastery. Known for her moderate and conciliatory approach, she is recognized for her administrative skills and missionary background, especially her work in Africa.


Despite this groundbreaking appointment, some Vatican experts expressed concern over the simultaneous appointment of Cardinal Angel Fernandez, 65, as "pro-prefect," a role traditionally reserved for someone expected to eventually take over as prefect. There is worry that Fernandez may hold real power while Brambilla serves more as a symbolic figurehead.


Brambilla's appointment comes at a time when women in the Catholic Church continue to face obstacles in leadership roles, despite Pope Francis’s efforts to elevate their positions. Although women in the Holy See and Vatican City have seen an increase in representation, the percentage remains low, rising from 19% in 2013 to 23.4% in 2023. The Church has also resisted calls for women to be ordained as priests or deacons.


Brambilla, who holds a doctorate in psychology, previously served as the head of the Consolata Missionary Sisters’ institute. Her appointment highlights the ongoing discussion about the role of women in the Church’s leadership and governance.
