菲律宾枢机塔格莱当选枢机团团长，成首位亚洲籍团长，教宗良十四世批准
梵蒂冈周五宣布，教宗良十四世已批准菲律宾枢机主教路易斯·安东尼奥·塔格莱（Luis Antonio Tagle）当选天主教会枢机团团长——这是首次由亚洲神职人员出任这一职位。现年 69 岁的塔格莱曾任马尼拉总主教，2020 年起在梵蒂冈任职，现主管福音传播部；他被视为方济各教宗的亲近盟友，在 2025 年选举良十四世的秘密会议前曾是热门人选之一。他接替 92 岁退休的意大利枢机雷（Giovanni Battista Re）。枢机团团长被视为枢机中的「首席平等者」：教宗去世或退位时，由他主持秘密会议选举程序。团长由同侪选出、教宗批准，任期五年，可连任一次；该职位历来多由欧洲人担任，贝宁枢机甘坦（Bernardin Gantin）曾于 1993 至 2002 年任职。（资料来源：路透社）
Cardinal Tagle Becomes First Asian Dean of the College of Cardinals, Approved by Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV has approved the election of Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as dean of the Catholic Church's College of Cardinals, the Vatican said Friday — the first time an Asian cleric has been chosen to lead the elite body that will one day pick Leo's successor. Tagle, 69, a former archbishop of Manila, has served as a senior Vatican official since 2020 and leads the Dicastery for Evangelization, the Church's missionary arm. A close ally of the late Pope Francis, he was widely seen as a leading candidate in the May 2025 conclave that elected Leo. He replaces Italian Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, 92, who is retiring. The dean is considered 'first among equals' among the Church's highest-ranking clerics and takes charge of the secretive conclave process when a pope dies or resigns. Elected by his peers and approved by the pope, the dean serves a five-year term that can be renewed once; the role has mostly been filled by Europeans, though Benin's Cardinal Bernardin Gantin held it from 1993 to 2002.
