Pope Benedict XVI has made another shift in Vatican personnel, appointing Bishop Giampaolo Crepaldi - who has been serving as secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace - to become the head of the Trieste diocese.The Pope also announced that Bishop Crepaldi will hold the title of archbishop ad personam although he will not be heading a metropolitan see.
In Trieste he replaced Bishop Eugenio Ravignani, who is retiring at the age of 76.
The new assignment for Bishop Crepaldi continues a series of personnel changes at the Vatican.
Such shifts are commonly announced just before and after the Pope leaves Rome for his summer vacation.
