The Secretariat for the Economy ((イタリア語:Segreteria per l'Economia)) is a dicastery of the Roman Curia with authority over all economic activities of the Holy See and the Vatican City State. ==Description== Pope Francis ordered the establishment of the secretariat in a ''motu proprio'', ''Fidelis dispensator et prudens'', published on 24 February 2014. It is headed by a cardinal-prefect, who reports directly to the Pope. It is, after the Secretariat of State, the second dicastery named a ''secretariat'', an indication of its importance relative to other parts of the Curia. The seat of the secretariat is in Saint John's Tower in the Vatican Gardens. George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, was named the secretariat's first prefect and "asked to start work as soon as possible". Pell said he would begin work at the Vatican "by the end of March". The Pope also announced the formation of a ''Council for the Economy'' to set policy guidelines for the secretariat and analyze its work. The council comprises eight cardinals or bishops and seven lay persons "with strong professional financial experience", chosen so that the body represents the global church. These members were named on 8 March.〔〔http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2014/03/08/0171/00360.html〕 The council is headed by a cardinal coordinator, currently Reinhard Marx.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Motu proprio "Fidelis dispensator et prudens" for the Management of the Economic Assets of the Holy See )〕 On Friday, June 5, 2015, Pope Francis appointed Dr. Libero Milone as Auditor General.〔〔http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2015/06/05/0429/00937.html〕〔http://www.microsofttranslator.com/BV.aspx?ref=IE8Activity&a=http%3A%2F%2Fpress.vatican.va%2Fcontent%2Fsalastampa%2Fen%2Fbollettino%2Fpubblico%2F2015%2F06%2F05%2F0429%2F00937.html〕 A meeting of the Council for the Economy was held in September 2014 to discuss the statutes of the new secretariat. During the meeting, the Council also discussed the transfer of competences from the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See to the Secretariat for the Economy and the criteria for drawing up a budget balances system.〔()〕 On 3 March, Pope Francis appointed Monsignor Alfred Xuereb as the first General Secretary of the Secretariat. On 22 March, Pope Francis appointed Monsignor Brian Ferme, a British-born jurist and head of the St. Pius X Faculty of Canon Law in Venice, as the first Prelate Secretary of the Council that oversees the Secretariat. In a Motu proprio issued on 9 July 2014 the responsibilities of the Secretariat for the Economy were extended considerably, since it decreed that the Ordinary Section of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA) is to be transferred to the Secretariat, giving the latter control over purchasing and human resources. Both the Secretariat and Council were given formal status in February 2015.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secretariat for the Economy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
