Roman Curia

The Roman Curia is the administrative apparatus of the Vatican City and the Catholic Church, assisting the Pope in governing the Church and managing its affairs. It consists of various congregations, councils, and offices that handle different aspects of church life, such as doctrine, clergy, and laity. Essentially, it helps organize the Church's global operations, supporting the Pope’s leadership and facilitating communication within the Church and with the outside world. The Curia plays a crucial role in implementing church policies and maintaining its worldwide presence.
