The head of the Roman Catholic church in Boston is among eight cardinals named by Pope Francis to advise him on running the church and reforming the Vatican bureaucracy.
Cardinal Sean O’Malley, known for imposing a ‘zero tolerance’ policy on clerical sex abuse in his archdiocese of Boston, was given the honor by the Vatican on Saturday.
The group includes only one current Vatican official, with the rest being cardinals from Europe, the Americas, Australia and Asia. They will hold their first meeting Oct. 1-3, though the group are reportedly already in communication with the Pope.
