The Council has a President, Secretary, Under-secretary, 38 Members and 9 Consultors, all appointed for five year terms, plus a permanent staff of 9. The current President is Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, with Monsignor Karel Kasteel as Secretary and Monsignor Giovanni Pietro Dal Toso as Under-Secretary.
