- An extraordinary consistory will be held on June 26-27, convoked by Pope Leo XIV to discuss broad topics ranging from war to synodality.
- Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re outlined four main themes: international situation, doctrine of just war, encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, and steps of the synodal process.
- The meeting aims to be a space for mutual listening, discernment, and shared exploration on issues relevant to the Church’s life and mission.
- The first session will involve shared meditation on the international situation and pressing tensions, followed by reflections on the encyclical.
- The session on the doctrine of just war will focus on themes of peace and reconciliation.
- The final session aims to update on the Synod’s implementation and facilitate free dialogue with Pope Leo XIV.
- The consistory will conclude with Mass on June 29, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, when the pope will confer Pallia on new metropolitan archbishops.
