The Vatican COVID-19 Commission is an institution created by Pope Francis to express the Church’s solicitude facing the COVID-19 pandemic, and propose responses to the potential socio-economic challenges deriving from it. On 20 March 2020, Pope Francis asked the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) to create a Commission to “prepare the future” through actions of support to local Churches to save human lives and help the poorest, and through the analysis and reflection on the socioeconomic challenges that have risen with this crisis and the proposal of criteria to face them.
