Cardinal Mauro Piacenza is a great penitentiary since September 21, 2013 .
The Great Penitentiary , also the High Penitentiary ( lat. Poenitentiarius major ), is the head of the Apostolic Penitentiary , one of the three church tribunals of the Roman Catholic Church .
The first mention of this post refers to the XII century . In the pontificate of Honorius III , the name “penitentiary” was affirmed, subsequently extended to “great penitentiary”. The apostolic constitution Pastor Bonus ( 1988 ) approved the current list of powers of the great penitentiary.
The Grand Penitentiary is one of several senior officials at the Holy See who retain their post during the Sede Vacante period, between the death of one pope and the election of the next.
Other such officials are the Dean of the Board of Cardinals , the Cardinal-Camelot and the Vicar General of Rome .
The great penitentiary is the titular archbishop and - often, but not always - the cardinal .
To date, the Grand Penitentiary is the Italian Cardinal Mauro Piacenza , who succeeded the Portuguese Cardinal Manuel Monteiro de Castro .
One of the functions of the Great Penitentiary is to confess and congregate the dying Pope .
