The Pope had announced, following the January consistory (in which the liturgical question was skirted), that a new consistory would take place by the summer: and the Dean of the College of Cardinals sent out a letter today with the exact dates: on June 26/27, followed by masses on Sunday (June 28) and on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul -- letter revealed by journalist Diane Montagna, available below:
It is possible that the Pope will soon announce new Cardinals, who would be created in the same consistory period.
A reminder that, right after this, on July 1st, the new consecrations for the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) will take place in Switzerland. How will the foreknowledge of this event, a repetition of the 1988 consecrations, affect any liturgical discussions in late June? Or will the liturgy be avoided again by the cardinals expecting to see what fallout there might be of the new Econe consecrations?...
