Vatican defends papal firings as necessary, not criticism of Caritas work.

A top Vatican cardinal, Cardinal Michael Czerny, has defended Pope Francis' decision to fire the elected leadership of Caritas Internationalis, saying it was necessary for the wellbeing of staff and not a condemnation of its work. The move shocked Caritas, which is one of the most visible aid groups around the world. Czerny insisted that the firings were both necessary and appropriate and were by no means a criticism of Caritas or its work providing emergency aid and development assistance to the neediest around the globe.

Vatican defends papal firings as necessary, not criticism of Caritas work.

A top Vatican cardinal has defended Pope Francis' decision to fire the elected leadership of Caritas Internationalis, saying it was necessary for the wellbeing of staff and not a condemnation of its work. The move shocked Caritas, which is one of the most visible aid groups around the world. The firings were due to "real deficiencies" in management that had affected staff morale at the Caritas secretariat in Rome. There was no evidence of financial wrongdoing or sexual misconduct, but former employees described a toxic workplace environment under the fired secretary-general.

Cardinal Tagle in Spotlight as Caritas Elects New Leadership

Caritas Internationalis, the Catholic Church's leading humanitarian and social service confederation, is meeting in Rome to elect new leadership for the next four years. The organization's previous leadership was fired due to serious morale and management issues. Among those ousted was Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who had served as the organization's president since May 2015. Tagle has been shortlisted as a front-runner to be the next pope, but there are concerns about his alleged inability to manage the previous leadership and his involvement in the case of a Belgian Salesian priest charged with child sexual abuse and possession of child pornography.
