Among the suggestions that emerged during the course of the General Congregations of Cardinals prior to the Conclave, was the convenience in instituting a small group of Members of the Episcopate, from different parts of the world, that the Holy Father could consult with, either individually or collectively, on particular issues . Once elected to the Roman See , I had occasion to reflect often on this subject , believing that such an initiative would be of considerable help in carrying out the pastoral ministry of the Successor of Peter, with which I was entrusted by my brother Cardinals.
For this reason, on 13 April I announced the establishment of the aforementioned group , indicating, at the same time , the names of those who had been called to become part of it. Now, after mature reflection , I consider it opportune, through this Chirograph, to officially instituted as a " Council of Cardinals ' , whose task is to help in the government of the universal Church and to study a draft revision of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus on the Roman Curia. It will be composed of the same persons mentioned above and may be consulted, both individually and as a Council , on matters I feel worthy of attention . Said Council, the number of components of which I reserve the right to configure as deemed adequate, will be a further expression of Episcopal communion and auxiliary service that the Bishops around the world can offer to munus petrinum.
Rome, at Saint Peter's, September 28th of 2013 , the first of my Pontificate.
FRANCIS
