Pope Calls Cardinals to Vatican
Pope John Paul II has summoned all 152 cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church from 56 countries to a meeting on Nov. 21-23, the Vatican said today.
The Vatican did not disclose the reason for the meeting, but there was speculation the cardinals will discuss proposed changes in the church’s administrative body, known as the Curia. The meeting of cardinals will come just a few days before a synod of bishops called by the Pope to review changes in the church since the Second Vatican Council of 1962-65. That meeting is scheduled from Nov. 25 to Dec. 8.
