Emilce Cuda

Emilce Cuda (born 26 December 1965) is an Argentine Catholic theologian, university professor, and Roman Curia official.

Dubbed "the woman who knows how to read Pope Francis", she became known for interpreting the teachings of Pope Francis through the Argentine Theology of the People, political philosophers, and her own native exposure to Pope Francis’ cultural milieu. Under Pope Leo XIV she has continued to play a role in articulating the theological and social themes of the Latin American Church within the Holy See.

She is the first Argentine laywoman to receive a pontifical Doctor of Sacred Theology degree in moral theology and the first woman to hold an executive position in the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, a position she continues to occupy under Leo XIV.
