This one na di first time wey Leo go dey hold dis kind meeting since e become pope last year after di passing of Pope Francis. Direct from Vatican, dem talk say di cardinals wan carry dem body enter governance matter for di Church on a global level, no be small.
During di time wey Francis dey reign, e dey face serious wahala because e no too allow many cardinals shine like dat. E get as e be wey dem dey talk say him leadership style too dey tough sometimes. Na so e take provoke some cardinals to dey complain say dem no fit chop for di table.
As dem dey prepare for dis meeting, di Vatican talk say dem no get any agenda wey dem go follow. But dem dey expect say di cardinals go deliver support and counsel to di Holy Father. Na serious matter wey dem go dey mind as dem gather together for reflection and prayer.
But make hin no forget say dis consistory get special touch – dem dey call am ‘extraordinary’ because e dey talk about important Church matter. Normally, di regular ones na for naming new cardinals, wey be di top rank for clergy.
