Rome Diocese Urged to Simplify Ministry Through Shared Pastoral Evaluation

Pope Leo XIV opened the Diocese of Rome's new pastoral year with a call for a shared process of pastoral evaluation, not a new program, centered on encountering Christ, building community, and serving the city. He outlined three core priorities—meeting Christ, generating community, and inhabiting and serving Rome—plus a cross-cutting focus on forming the People of God. The Pope urged a light touch on activity, insisting the Church should 'do less and do it better', listen before deciding, empower lay gifts, and foster priestly fraternity. He also announced a diocesan inquiry into Don Luigi Di Liegro and entrusted the city to Mary, Salus Populi Romani, as it looks toward 2033.

Pope vows to move forward if SSPX pursues illicit ordinations, urges unity despite schism risk

Pope Leo XIV said the traditionalist SSPX’s plan to consecrate new bishops without papal mandate would be a schismatic act and, while he is considering another appeal to keep them in communion, the decision to proceed rests with the SSPX; Vatican officials warned that without papal authorization the ordinations would breach Church law. The pope also voiced guarded optimism about a US-Iran accord meant to end the war and support reconstruction, and discussed his Spain visit, summer plans, and potential future trips to France, Peru and Mexico.
