Indianapolis, Ind., Apr 1, 2014 \/ 12:34 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Pope Francis has named Archbishop Joseph Tobin of Indianapolis as a member of the congregation of the Roman Curia that oversees vowed religious life.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cTogether with the other cardinals and archbishops named to the congregation, I will try to advise the Holy Father and the cardinal prefect of the congregation on questions regarding religious life around the world,\u201d Archbishop Tobin told The Criterion, the Indianapolis archdiocese\u2019s newspaper.<\/p>\n

\tOn March 29 the Pope named the archbishop as a member of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Tobin will join other cardinals and archbishops on the dicastery; he is the only American named as a new member, though Cardinal Sean O\u2019Malley of Boston and Cardinal Francis George of Chicago were reappointed to five-year terms with the congregation.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Tobin said he was \u201cquite surprised\u201d by the appointment, adding he was \u201cgrateful for the confidence of the Holy Father\u201d and \u201cpleased to honor his request.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tA Redemptorist who was superior general of his order from 1997 to 2009, he had become secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life 2010, and left that position when\u00a0 he was appointed Archbishop of Indianapolis in 2012.<\/p>\n

\tPope Francis also named the heads of several religious orders to the congregation for religious life, including the Master of the Dominicans, Fr. Bruno Cadore; the Capuchin Franciscans\u2019 Minister General Fr. Mauro Johri; and the Comboni Missionaries\u2019 Superior General, Fr. Enrique S\u00e1nchez Gonz\u00e1lez.\u00a0 He reappointed the Jesuit superior general, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, to the congregation.<\/p>\n

\tThe dicastery\u2019s prefect is Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz, and its secretary is Archbishop Jose Rodriguez Carballo.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the Georgetown University-based Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, in 2013 there were more than 720,000 religious sisters, 54,000 religious brothers and 135,000 religious order priests around the world.<\/p>\n
