CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV has issued a motu proprio regulating that administration of the basilicas of St. Peter and St. Mary Major.
The new rules—which were promulgated in September, but only now made public—place the administrative affairs of both basilicas under the supervision of the Council for the Economy, in line with the regularization of financial affairs in the Roman Curia.
