Pope Leo XIV will hold a two-day consultative meeting with all cardinals to support Church governance, marking a new leadership approach after his May 8 election.
- Pope Leo XIV summoned the world's cardinals to Rome for two days of meetings to help him govern, the Vatican said Saturday.
- Earlier this year, after his May 8 election, Pope Leo XIV had relied on a small group of eight or nine hand‑picked cardinal advisers, and the January consistory will let him look ahead to his own agenda.
- The Vatican said the consistory will focus on fostering common discernment and offering support and advice to the Holy Father, and it will not create new cardinals.
- By convening the full college of cardinals, Leo signals a governance shift as Pope Francis had largely eschewed consistories, while addressing outstanding Francis-era matters.
- Leo's early months included Holy Year duties like meeting pilgrimage groups and greeting the faithful in St. Peter's Square on Saturday, illustrating his public role before the consistory.
