Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti
is the new president of Italian bishops conference CEI, the
outgoing head, Archbishop of Genoa Angelo Bagnasco, said
Wednesday. Bassetti was the first name on a shortlist the
Italian bishops had put to Pope Francis. "I intend to work
together with all the bishops, grateful for the trust that they
have assured me of," Bassetti said. "The pope advised me to
share time, creativity and consolation and listen".
