The Council of Cardinals, which includes the Pope's closest advisers, is addressing the simplification of the Roman Curia.
They've met for the last two days with the Pope. Later on this week, they will meet with Cardinals from all over the world and present a document with specific proposals.
They prepared the address on Monday morning with a list of issues. As president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, the council met with Cardinal Ravasi to talk about the department.
