The select group of eight cardinals advising Pope Francis on reforming the governance of the Catholic church are set to meet with him for the fourth time, following the canonization ceremonies for Popes John XXIII and John Paul II.

Sydney Cardinal George Pell, a member of the Council of Cardinals, was appointed to lead the office.
