Pope Leo Appoints New Almoner, Continuing Francis's Charitable Legacy

Pope Leo the Fourteenth appoints Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín as the Vaticans new chief almsgiver, following in Pope Franciss footsteps. Marín, a Spanish Augustinian friar, takes over from Polish Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who is retiring. Krajewski, a trusted aide to Francis, transformed the role into a hands-on force for good, setting up showers for the homeless and delivering aid to those in need. The almoners office, established in the thirteenth century, funds its work through sales of custom papal blessings and certificates.
