The cardinals who will participate in the extraordinary consistory convened by Leo XIV for June 26 and 27 have received internal documentation that details the work program and establishes strict confidentiality rules for the development of the sessions. According to information released in advance by Messa in Latino, the document emphasizes avoiding press statements during the works, preserving confidentiality on the debates, and not publicly attributing the interventions made by the participants.
The meeting, which will take place in the Paul VI Hall and the New Synod Hall, is one of the first large-scale consultation meetings of the current pontificate and will be dedicated to reflecting on the international situation, contemporary challenges for the Church’s mission, and the process of applying the Synod.
A confidential note for members of the College of Cardinals
The documentation distributed to the cardinals is explicitly marked as «confidential» and explains that the consistory responds to the desire of Leo XIV to exploit «the heritage of experience and wisdom» present in the College of Cardinals.
The text underlines that the days have been not conceived as a deliberative meeting, but as a space for listening and common discernment on some of the issues that today challenge the universal Church.
The works will begin on Friday June 26 with a Mass presided over by Leo XIV himself in de Sankt Pet<|eos|>
