Pope Francis has named Monsignor Paul Tighe as Adjunct Secretary for the Pontifical Council for Culture, at the same time elevating him to the titular episcopal See of Drivasto.
Msgr Tighe has been serving as the Secretary for the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. The Navan man is credited with helping to bring the Vatican into the digital social media age with particular responsibility for the @pontifex twitter account of the Holy Father and the website News.va.
He will be the highest ranking Irish man in the Roman curia and will be ordained bishop in St Peter's basilica in 2016.
