Cardinal Tagle assigned new Vatican title

Pope Leo XIV assigned Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle the Title of the Suburbicarian Church of Albano.

The Vatican announced on Saturday, May 24, that Tagle, pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, now holds this title.

The previous holder of this title was Cardinal Robert Prevost, who was elected Pope Leo XIV on May 8.

Despite celebratory social media messages, this new title is not a promotion for Cardinal Tagle.

Tagle has already held the rank of cardinal-bishop, one of the highest in the College of Cardinals, since April 14, 2020.

The late Pope Francis granted Tagle this promotion five years ago, even breaking tradition to do so.
