Cardinal Christophe Pierre Receives New Honor in Rome | EWTN News Nightly

Cardinal Christophe Pierre has spent decades traveling the world as a Vatican diplomat. He recently received an honor, a little closer to Rome. Cardinal Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States, took possession of the Deaconry of the Church of St. Benedict Outside St. Paul's Gate, to seal his identity as a member of the clergy of Rome. Cardinal Pierre, who was created cardinal last year, entered the Vatican diplomatic service in 1977, and has since then served at Vatican diplomatic missions in several countries around the world. After several postings as apostolic nuncio in Haiti, Uganda and Mexico, Pope Francis named Cardinal Pierre apostolic nuncio to the United States in 2016, succeeding the controversial Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Last Sunday, in his homily, Cardinal Pierre shared some of the beauty of serving as a diplomatic representative of the Holy See across the world. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, has more.
