New Vatican Leadership Policy Under Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV amended 2023 law to let non-cardinal lead Vatican City.
Pope Francis appointed Sister Raffaella Petrini as first woman to head Vatican.
Petrini, a 56-year-old Italian nun, faced legal issues due to previous cardinals-only rule.
Leo stated the appointment wasn't one-off, stressing shared responsibility for governance.
