VATICAN CITY, OCT. 1, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI appointed Jesuit Father Marcel Chappin as vice prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives.

Father Chappin is a consultor of the Congregation for Saints' Causes.
In the new position Father Chappin will work alongside Bishop Sergio Pagano, prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives, who received episcopal ordination from Benedict XVI last Saturday.
