But still no appointment of a new prefect at the CDW. What\u2019s going on? Such a two-month vacancy is unprecedented, is it not?<\/p>\n<p>This is a possible precedent, but it\u2019s rather different: when Cardinal Luigi Maglione died in 1943, Pius XII decided to be his own Secretary of State. And the pope remained so until his death in 1958.<\/p>\n<p>As one wag has said, you don\u2019t suppose that Pope Francis will become his own head of the CDW? Ha!<\/p>\n<p>The group of 9 cardinals appointed by Pope Francis to reform the Roman curia are saying that the new Apostolic Constitution isn\u2019t expected until June 2015. Is it possible that CDW remain vacant until then?<\/p>\n<p>Or is an appointment of a new CDW prefect imminent?
