On my table I have an image of Saint Joseph sleeping. Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the Church!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>March 19 was the day Francis chose to begin his papal ministry\u2014six days after he was elected pope in the 2013 conclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That same day, he has also published several key documents throughout his pontificate. One of them being the apostolic constitution Praedicate evangelium in 2022. This document completed a series of reforms to the Roman Curia that had begun almost a decade earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CARD.
