Pope Benedict XVI held a special meeting on June 13, with the leaders of the Roman Curia.
The Vatican did not disclose the purpose of the Monday-morning meeting.
Pope Benedict has only rarely called together all the heads of Vatican
offices, when he wants to discuss a major policy issue, which could
affect several offices of the Roman Curia.
The last such meeting of dicastery heads took place last November, to
discuss the creation of a new office of the Roman Curia: the Pontifical
Council for New Evangelization.
The formal announcement of that office
came soon after the meeting.
