The daily choreography of Vatican communication—briefings, bulletins and carefully parsed statements—will soon include a new protagonist. Pope Leo XIV has appointed Sister Nina Benedikta Krapi?, M.V.Z., as deputy director of the Holy See Press Office, entrusting the 34-year-old Croatian religious with one of the most visible roles in the Vatican’s global media apparatus. The announcement, published in the official bulletin of the Holy See Press Office on Friday, confirms that Sister Krapi? will assume her new responsibilities on March 1. She succeeds Brazilian journalist Cristiane Murray, who had served in the position since July 2019 and who was received in audience by the pope on the morning of February 13. No reasons for Murray’s resignation have been made public.
