POPE Francis has set up a committee of eight cardinals from around the world to advise him on how to reform the Catholic Church's troubled central administration.
The cardinals will help him put into place changes in the Curia, which has been held responsible for some of the mishaps and scandals that plagued the eight-year reign of Pope Benedict before he resigned in February.
The eight prelates come from Italy, Chile, India, Germany, Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States, Australia and Honduras. An Italian archbishop will act as secretary of the group, which will hold its first formal meeting in October in Rome. Francis, who was elected exactly one month ago, has already been in contact with each of them, the Vatican said.
