Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops cited some of the “gifts” that candidates for bishops must have, a decision reserved to the Holy Father but whose selection process will increasingly involve the participation of the “people of God.
One of the most important functions of the apostolic nuncios is to participate in this selection process. The Vatican “ambassadors” play a crucial role in the selection of candidates. Asked about the “criteria” necessary for selecting bishops, Prevost emphasised both their universal character and, at the same time, their specificity due to the particular areas in which they are carried out.
“But we also look at the specific dioceses and their needs. That’s why the apostolic nuncio is in charge of reporting not only about the bishops but also about the priests, laypeople, and religious. To know what the diocese is like, its needs, and what bishop they need,” he added.
