US EditionFilipino Cardinals in Rome Ahead of Pope Leo XIV’s First Consistory - Asian Journal News
Filipino cardinals including Manila's archbishop participate in Pope Leo XIV’s first extraordinary consistory, a rare consultative event shaping Church leadership and direction.
- Three Philippine-based cardinals traveled from Manila to Rome to attend Pope Leo XIV's first extraordinary consistory scheduled January 7–8, opening tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. in the Synod Hall.
- Vatican officials say the meeting is consultative and spiritual, convened to seek counsel from senior Church leaders, while canon law requires extraordinary consistories for grave affairs, marking Pope Leo XIV's first such gathering.
- At 9:30 a.m., Pope Leo XIV celebrates the Epiphany Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, which includes the ritual closing of the Holy Door; sessions run 9:30 a.m.–12:45 p.m. and 3:15 p.m.–7:00 p.m. with some behind closed doors.
- Because the consistory concludes on the eve of the Feast of Jesus Nazareno, Archbishop Jose F. Advincula will miss the January 9 celebrations, and the Archdiocese of Manila said other bishops will lead liturgies with Balanga Bishop Rufino Sescon presiding at Quiapo.
- Despite limited public agenda details, Vatican officials emphasize themes of mission, synodality, and governance as Pope Leo XIV engages cardinals in closed-door proceedings.
