Pope names veteran Vatican diplomat as ambassador to the US to manage relations with Trump
Archbishop Caccia, a seasoned Vatican diplomat with UN experience, succeeds Cardinal Pierre amid strained US-Holy See relations due to immigration and Iran policy tensions.
- Pope Leo XIV named Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia apostolic nuncio to the United States, replacing Cardinal Christophe Pierre who is retiring at age 80.
- Amid tensions over U.S. policy, Pope Leo XIV appointed a veteran diplomat to manage strained Holy See–U.S. ties and advise on bishop nominations.
- Caccia brings diplomatic experience as the Holy See's permanent observer to the United Nations in New York since 2019, former nuncio to Lebanon and the Philippines, and assessor for general affairs at the Secretariat of State; he was born in Milan on Feb. 24, 1958.
- Archbishop Paul S. Coakley welcomed Caccia with the U.S. bishops' 'warmest welcome and our prayerful support', praising Pierre for urging unity amid tensions.
- Observers note Caccia inherits a complicated U.S. dossier and his U.N. background signals Vatican support for multilateral diplomacy, while he must be discreet and unifying, 'in the image of Leo'.
