==October Papal Audience with the Council of Bishops== | |||
On 6 October 2024, the day after his election to the papacy, Pope John Paul III held his inaugural papal audience, convening bishops from across Terra Aurora. During this audience held in the recently constructed Sala Regia in Vatican City, the Pontiff emphasized the importance of returning the Church to its evangelical and missionary roots, alongside announcing his decree on canon law reforms. | |||
The Holy Father expressed his discontent with the "factionalism" and politicization of episcopal offices within the Roman Curia, strongly condemning those who "seek high office for their benefit at the expense of the Church." After addressing the bishops and responding to their questions, the Pope concluded the audience by reiterating his desire for a Church where every member embodies the gospel. | |||
