“Tomorrow the extraordinary consistory for the family will begin, in
which according to the calculations of the dean, Cardinal Angelo Sodano,
around 185 prelates will participate”, continued Fr. Lombardi. Some are
unable to come to Rome
for health reasons or due to the excessive duration of the journey. Work will
begin at 9.30 a.m. with greetings from Cardinal Sodano, and will continue with
an address from the Holy Father. However, we do not know if the Holy Father's
address will be

open to journalists or if the prelates would prefer to continue behind closed
doors following the greetings from the Cardinal Dean. This will be followed by
a lengthy address by Cardinal Kasper, which will be reserved to the
participants in the
consistory; it will not therefore be published in full. We do not yet know
whether other Cardinals will have the opportunity to take the floor,
considering the length of Cardinal Kasper's presentation. Other interventions
are
planned during the consistory but in no particular order”.
Finally, the director of the Press Office informed the journalists of the
locations for the courtesy visits to the new cardinals, most of which will
take place in the Paul VI Hall or the Apostolic Palace.
