"…The weeks which precede Easter will be marked Oltretevere [across the Tiber, i.e., at the Vatican] by two important moments of “dialogue” willed by Benedict XVI with the States-General of the Catholic Church. Next March 23, all cardinals, assembled in Rome to take part in the consistory of the following day, will meet the Pope to a common reflexion and a moment of free debate on the “hot” questions of the Ecclesial agenda.

The second summit of the Pope with all the heads of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia will take place next April 7. At the center of the previous meeting was the controversial question of the relations with the Traditionalist galaxy, with the prospect of a full reconciliation between the spiritual children of bishop Lefebvre and the Catholic Church. The great round of consultations willed by the Pope a year after his election will serve to make an evaluation of his first twelve months of pontificate and to collect suggestions and propositions on the priorities of the next Ecclesial period, in primis the reform of the Curia, already begun, and the ecumenical dialogue with the Orthodox Churches.

What’s on the agenda for the College of Cardinals

Pope Benedict is meeting behind closed doors today with the College of Cardinals including those who will join their ranks tomorrow. What are they talking about?

From the beginning, the meeting was characterized as an opportunity for any cardinal to bring up issues he thought was important, but it was also known that the Holy Father had some things he wanted to consult with the college about. According to sources, the four items on the Pope’s agenda were:

Reconciliation with Traditionalist
relations between Christianity and Islam
the status of retired bishops
and the preparation and use of liturgical texts.
