(Fox News) Pope Francis appointed six women to oversee the Vatican’s finances on Thursday, making them the most senior women ever to serve there.
The new female members of the Vatican’s Council for the Economy — which seats 15 members who were previously all male — include Great Britain’s former Labour Party minister Ruth Kelly and Leslie Jane Ferrar, Germany’s Charlotte Kreuter-Kirchhof and Dr. Marija Kolak, and Spain’s Eva Castillo Sanz and María Concepción Osákar Garaicoechea.
The new appointees all have well-established backgrounds in finance.
