Selama masa interregnum, para kepala departemen (dicastery) Kuria Romawi (seperti para pengawas jemaat) segera berhenti dari jabatan masing-masing, satu-satunya perkecualian adalah Lembaga Penitensial Apostolik, yang melanjutkan peran pentingnya terkait absolusi dan dispensasi, dan Camerlengo, yang mengurusi temporalitas (hal keduniawian; seperti tanah, rumah, dan keuangan) Tahta Santo Petrus pada periode ini.
During this interregnum, the heads of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia (such as the prefects of congregations) cease immediately to hold office, the only exceptions being the Major Penitentiary, who continues his important role regarding absolutions and dispensations, and the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, who administers the temporalities (i.e., properties and finances) of the See of St. Peter during this period.WikiMatrix WikiMatrix
