Vatican Appoints First Female Lay Communications Head
Description
Pope Leo XIV just stunned the world by naming Maria Montserrat Alvarado — a laywoman and first female leader — to helm the Vatican’s entire communications department, a massive operation with global reach and a hefty budget. This bold move signals a major shift toward modern, inclusive leadership, echoing Pope Francis’s reforms. Alvarado, formerly president of conservative EWTN News, brings deep media experience to the role as the Pope pushes for more effective global outreach, even convening cardinals to rethink how the Church connects with the world.
