Emilce Cuda

Emilce Cuda is an Argentine theologian, university professor, and high official of the Roman Curia (“minister” of the Holy See). She has been dubbed "the woman who knows how to read Pope Francis" for her unique development of the Theology of the People, as well as the concepts of Integral Ecology and pueblo-pobre-trabajador. She holds several degrees beyond her Ph.D. in Theology, including an MBA and a Doctor of Humane Letters degree honoris causa from Loyola University Chicago. She is the first woman to hold an executive position in the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, at a ministerial level in the Vatican.
