Here’s what the second consistory of Leo XIV will look like: topics, schedule, and procedure. All the cardinals will be in Rome on the last weekend of June 2026

The format itself reveals much about the Pope’s approach. Participants will be divided into twenty working groups. Nine groups will consist primarily of diocesan cardinals, including papal nuncios and retired ordinaries, while eleven will bring together members of the Roman Curia and non-elector cardinals. Each group will be guided by a moderator and a secretary responsible for synthesizing the discussion into a final report
