Cladio Hummes the cardinal of Sao Paulo is the "new prefect of the Congregation for Clergy."...the important bit is burried way in the middle of the story:
Cardinal Hummes, who speaks five languages, is known as a champion of human dignity, not only supporting and initiating concrete projects to help the poor, but also defending the traditional family, fighting abortion and citing the need for solid ethical norms in response to advances in biomedical technology
