July marks the beginning of Pope Francis's summer break from receiving guests and holding public talks. However, the Holy Father's schedule is set to become much busier in the coming months.

With his ninth consistory in 10 years of his pontificate, Pope Francis will lock down his influence on the College of Cardinals for the next conclave, considering the overwhelming majority of cardinals will have been created by him.

Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, was chosen by Pope Francis to represent him in the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the Madonna of Budslau in Belarus.

"World Youth Day is an invitation to all the young people of the world to experience God," Bishop Américo Aguiar told ACI Digital, clarifying comments he made in a July 6 interview.

“We don’t want to convert the young people to Christ or to the Catholic Church or anything like that at all,” said Bishop Américo Aguiar, the head of World Youth Day (WYD) Lisbon 2023 who will be created a cardinal by Pope Francis in September.
