A newly released Armenian-language statement from the Armenian Apostolic Church says that Pope Leo XIV and Catholicos Aram I addressed the idea of convening a “Third Vatican Council” during a private meeting at the Vatican on May 18.
The Vatican’s summary of the meeting did not mention the topic.
The
Armenian Patriarchate said the two discussed “the establishment of a
common date for Easter, a day of commemoration for all martyrs, and the
convening of a Third Vatican Council.”
According to the Armenian
statement, Aram I emphasized the “urgent necessity” of these initiatives
for the life of “the universal Christian Church.” The statement added
that Leo XIV expressed “understanding and support” regarding the issues
raised.
