CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV named Patrick Kelly, the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, as a member of the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life.
Praedicate Evangelium, the 2022 apostolic constitution on the Roman Curia, provides that members of the dicasteries meet (typically) every two years in plenary session to discuss “matters and questions of greater importance.” Other American members of the dicastery include Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington and Helen Alvare, a law school professor known for her pro-life commitment.
