Pope Leo XIV

This is what the letter says—the surprising and important letter that Leo XIV sent to the cardinals ahead of the Consistory in June 2026

Letter from Pope Leo XIV to the cardinals ahead of the upcoming consistory in 2026

Although there are no diplomatic relations, the President of the National Assembly of Vietnam invites Pope Leo XIV to visit the country

The President of the National Assembly in Hanoi presented the Pope with a letter from the President, who is now firmly at the helm of power in Vietnam. It was precisely internal disagreements over the local political balance of power that had slowed down the preparations for the visit, which is so eagerly awaited by the Catholic community. Cardinal Parolin is due to visit soon to establish full diplomatic relations. The possibility of 2027, when the Pope is already expected in Seoul for World Youth Day.
