New details have emerged concerning the extraordinary consistory of cardinals to be convened by the Pope in June, with a revised schedule now set out in a letter sent to members of the College.
According to an exclusive report by Diane Montagna, the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, informed members in a letter dated April 13 that the gathering will take place over two full days, on Friday and Saturday, June 26–27, beginning at 9am.
In the same correspondence, Cardinal Re said that both morning and afternoon sessions are planned. The adjustment brings the proceedings forward by one day, allowing two full days of discussion without extending into Sunday.
