A legate is a representative of the Pope and a member of the Roman Curia, the administrative apparatus of the Holy See. The primary role of a legate is to act as an envoy on behalf of a Pope or to negotiate on his behalf with foreign powers. Legates are often entrusted with special duties, such as conducting public ceremonies or promulgating papal documents among the clergy and people in the country where they serve.
