Tagle formally assumes titular role in Italian diocese

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle formally assumed his titular role in the Suburbicarian Diocese of Albano in Italy through a Mass at the Albano Cathedral on October 11.

The suburbicarian Diocese of Albano is one of the seven historical sees surrounding Rome, traditionally held by the highest-ranking cardinals.

Tagle was appointed to this position by Pope Leo XIV on May 24, with the diocese formerly held by Cardinal Robert Prevost.

Although Tagle holds the titular honor, the diocese will continue to be administered by its resident Bishop, Vincenzo Viva.

Tagle recently presented photos of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación y Correa de Intramuros to Pope Leo XIV during a private audience in the Vatican on October 10.
