On 7-8 January the first consistory of Pope Leon XIV – the authoritative gathering of the Holy Father with the full College of Cardinals will be held. A gathering program leaked to the media.
The programme of the first consistor of the fresh Pope was presented in Italian paper Il Giornale by Vaticanist Nico Stuntoni. The same writer had already stated that Pope Leon XIV had asked the Cardinals to reread 2 papers of his predecessor – an endorsement Evangelii Gaudium and the Constitution Praedicate Evangelium. Adhortation speaks of the improvement of the Church and the way in which the Gospel was preached in the 21st century. The Constitution describes the rebuilding of the Roman Curia, which is to better service the work of evangelization. The 2 primary themes of the consistory, stated the Spendoni, are to be issues of synodality and liturgy.
As he reported, the Cardinals will begin concrete work on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Hall of St Paul VI. Within 2 days, a full of 3 sessions will be held. The cardinals will sit in working groups between the sessions. On Wednesday, the work ended at 6:45 p.m. by Pope Leon. They'll proceed from Thursday morning. The last session will end that day at 6:45 p.m. The consortium will close the final speech of the Holy Father.
