Overview
- Leo asked cardinals to reconvene June 27–28 and said he will gather the College annually for multi‑day sessions, signaling a new consultative governing style.
- Roughly 170 of 245 cardinals attended the two‑day extraordinary consistory in Rome, which produced guidance rather than a binding document.
- Cardinals chose to prioritize evangelization and the church’s synodal life over liturgy or curial reform, according to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni.
- The pope said he will devote his weekly catecheses to rereading key Second Vatican Council texts to advance their implementation.
- Leo urged unity and warned against personal or group agendas, and the contentious Latin Mass question was not taken up as a main topic.
