Eight cardinals appointed by Pope Francis are set to meet at the Vatican this week to revise the church’s constitution, with one declaring that “we need to write something different.”
Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga of Honduras says the group has received suggestions on Vatican reform from around the world, The Telegraph reports.
The current church constitution was drawn up in 1988 by Pope John Paul II, who will be declared a saint in April.
Francis and the cardinals will meet from Oct. 1-3. After the meetings, Francis will review proposals for changes to the constitution, according to Rome Reports.
