Few events in Pope Leo’s young papacy have built as much anticipation as his first consistory. Summoning the cardinals of the Catholic Church to Rome for two intense days of meetings, the pope laid out clear signals about the direction for the church and a new collaborative style of governance.
On “Inside the Vatican” this week, hosts Colleen Dulle and Gerard O’Connell discuss the key takeaways from the consistory, including:
- The significance of the topics chosen: synodality and evangelization
- How Leo is building on Pope Francis’ legacy
- How Leo’s collaborative style will shape church governance
