Pope Leo XIV to Cardinals on Liturgy: Retain tradition; be open to progress

New details have emerged regarding Pope Leo XIV’s January meeting with the Cardinals. Four points to be discussed are: (1) reviewing Evangelii Gaudium for renewed momentum in the proclamation of the Gospel; (2) studying Praedicate evangelium regarding the relationship between the universal and the particular Church; (3) examining the Synod and Synodality as “instruments of effective collaboration with the Roman Pontiff on matters of greater importance, for the good of the whole Church;” and (4) discussing the liturgy through an “‘in-depth theological, historical, and pastoral reflection ‘in order to retain sound tradition and yet remain open to legitimate progress.’”
