VATICAN (CWN) -- On Sunday, March 29, the Vatican announced the
nomination of three key Vatican officials.
- Father Marcello Zago, OMI, the current superior general of the Oblates of
Mary Immaculate, will become the secretary of the Congregation for
Evangelization, with the rank of Archbishop. A veteran of inter-
religious dialogues, particularly among the missionary regions of
Asia, he has worked in Laos and Taiwan, becoming an expert on
relations with Buddhism. He was elected to head the Oblates-- a
congregation of 5,000 men-- in 1986, and under his leadership the
congregation established missions in 13 new countries. His
second term as superior general will end this year. During his second term,
he has taught at ecclesiastical faculties in Rome and Ottawa.
- Msgr. Karel Kasteel, the under-secretary of the Pontifical Council
Cor Unum, has been promoted to Secretary of that Council, which
manages the Pope's personal charities. Cor Unum has undertaken an
ambitious project of setting up 100 new charitable enterprises all
around the globe by the year 2000.
- Father Francisco Azcona San Martin, from Pamplona, Spain, has
been nominated to replace Msgr. Kasteel as under-secretary of Cor
Unum.
