Pope Francis has removed Archbishop Giacomo Morandi from his post as secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, making him Bishop of Reggio Emilia-Guasdalla, Italy. He replaces Bishop Massimo Camisasca, who has resigned at 75.

The Vatican gave no explanation for the unexpected personnel shift, which puts Archbishop Morandi at the head of a diocese rather than an archdiocese (although he will retain his title).
