Pope Francis’ Council of Cardinals met online on December 1 to continue work on the new apostolic constitution to govern the Roman Curia, according to a Vatican statement.
The seven cardinals and an archbishop secretary are studying “observations, amendments, and proposals received from the dicasteries consulted in recent months” regarding the draft of the new constitution, known as Praedicate evangelium, a brief press release said.
Pope Francis also participated in the Dec. 1 meeting, connecting virtually from the Vatican guest-house where he lives.
The group of cardinal advisers, referred to as the C9 for its original nine members, was established by Pope Francis in 2013, with the aim of revising the text of the 1988 apostolic constitution Pastor bonus. At one of the council’s first meetings, it was decided that projected revisions to Pastor bonus would be substantial enough to warrant an entirely new constitution.
