Pietro Parolin Biography

Pietro Parolin is one of the most popular and richest Catholic Priest who was born on January 17, 1955 in Schiavon, Veneto, Italy. Parolin, 58, became the youngest Secretary-of-State since 1929 when Eugenio Card Pacelli (later Pope Pius XII), was elected to the position. He stated that the “pope’s initiatives have given secretary of state an impetus, and have also created new diplomatic momentum.” He was asked if he would lead a new diplomatic offensive to promote peace. He said, “We have a great advantage with respect to other churches and other religions: Through diplomacy, we can count on an institutional presence international.”

From 30 November 2002 to 17 Aug 2009, Parolin was the Undersecretary of State in Charge of Relations with States.

Parolin has also been at the forefront of Vatican efforts to approve and implement the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Addressing the International Atomic Energy Agency on 18 September 2006, at its headquarters in Vienna, Parolin referred to this treaty as “the basis to pursue nuclear disarmament and an important element for further development of nuclear energy applications for peaceful purposes.” He said: “Since this treaty is the only multilateral legal instrument currently available, intended to bring about a nuclear weapons-free world, it must not be allowed to be weakened. Humanity deserves no less than the full cooperation of all states in this important matter.” Concerning international negotiations with respect to Iran’s nuclear program, he said “that the present difficulties can and must be overcome through diplomatic channels, making use of all the means that diplomacy has at its disposal and considers necessary to eliminate all the elements which objectively impede mutual trust.”

Parolin represented the Vatican in a variety of sensitive assignments, including trips to North Korea and Vietnam as well as the 2007 Annapolis Conference on the Middle East convened by the Bush administration to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

From 1989 to 1992, he was at the Nunciature in Mexico and contributed to the final phase to Archbishop Girolamo Prigione’s extensive work. This led to legal recognition of the Catholic church in 1992 and diplomatic relations between Mexico and the Holy See after 130 years. These long negotiations resulted in Mexico’s official abolition of its secular and anti-clerical imprimatur, which was extended to its Constitution.
