Leo XIV Appointed Cardinal Krajewski as New Archbishop of Łódź, Poland
He has been the Papal Almoner since 2013. However, today's appointment is unlikely to be considered a promotion for a cardinal of the Curia.
Successor Was Leader of the Synod Process
The new papal almoner is Spanish bishop Luis Marín de San Martín, OSA, an Augustinian friar. He was undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops and has now been made an archbishop.
He helped organise the failed 'Synod on Synodality' project of Pope Francis.
Activism for transvestite prostitutes
Cardinal Krajewski managed several lunches for 'the poor' and invited dozens of transvestites to them.
During the Covid-lockdowns, Cardinal Krajewski offered financial support to transgender sex workers.
Encouraging Illegal Squatting
One of Cardinal Krajewski's most notable acts occurred in Rome in 2019. A building occupied by 450 illegal immigrants lost electricity due to unpaid bills totalling €300,000. Krajewski went to the building and reconnected the electricity manually. This was illegal, and he publicly admitted: 'I did it. The consequences are mine.”
However, he did not face any personal consequences. The €300,000 debt remained unpaid.
