A big wave of turnover is coming to the Vatican. Right now, a lot of the prefects heading up the Roman Curia are getting up there in age…many are well past 75 and getting close to 80. Most of them were key Francis appointees who have been running their departments for years, but time is catching up, and fresh leadership is going to be needed soon. So I’m taking a look at at the current leadership situation in the Vatican, which key dicasteries are due for a shakeup, and my predictions for who might be named as the next prefects to take their place.
