Padre Rocco Ronzani

Padre Rocco Ronzani is the current Prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Archive, succeeding Monsignor Sergio Pagano in July 2024. His role involves overseeing the preservation and study of important historical texts, including those that reveal critical moments in church history. Ronzani's appointment comes at a time when the Vatican is re-evaluating its historical narratives, particularly in light of recent discoveries such as a significant 1530 document linked to the annulment of King Henry VIII's marriage, which played a crucial role in the establishment of the Anglican Church.
