Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

Council of Cardinals meeting this week (Vatican Press Office)

The Council of Cardinals is meeting in Rome this week, with Pope Francis in attendance at the June 26 session.

The Vatican has not disclosed the agenda for the Council’s discussions. At the last meeting, in April, the Council—which was originally created to assist the Pope in planning the reform of the Roman Curia—discussed peacemaking efforts and preparations for the Synod on Synodality.
