The Prefecture of the Papal Household is the office in charge of the Papal Household, a section of the Roman Curia that comprises the Papal Chapel (''Cappella Pontificia'') and the Papal Family (''Familia Pontificia''). The current Prefect of the household is Archbishop Georg Gänswein, appointed on 7 December 2012.〔(Gänswein named Prefect of Pontifical Household ), 2012-12-07 13:05:50, Vatican Radio〕 ==Functions== As the apostolic constitution ''Pastor Bonus'' states, "The Prefecture of the Papal Household looks after the internal organization of the papal household, and supervises everything concerning the conduct and service of all clerics and laypersons who make up the papal chapel and family. It is at the service of the Supreme Pontiff, both in the Apostolic Palace and when he travels in Rome or in Italy."〔(Pastor Bonus - John Paul II - Apostolic Constitution ''Pastor Bonus'' )〕 The Prefecture runs the Apostolic Palace, containing the Papal Apartments, and the Papal Palace and Villa Barberini in the town of Castel Gandolfo. The Prefecture has competence for matters that once belonged to several offices, now suppressed: the Ceremonial Congregation, the offices of the Majordomo, the Master of the Chamber, and the Master of the Sacred Apostolic Palaces, and the Heraldic Commission for the Papal Court.〔Annuario Pontificio 2012, p. 1849〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prefecture of the Pontifical Household」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
