I am a layperson working for Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi ran by Father Atuire. It is the travel agency for the vatican. I work out details for bookings for flights and hotels for employees of the church(priests, students, laypersons, invited guests, etc). The Vatican last week ordered us to get travel arrangements for ALL Archbishops from around the world to Rome. They are to be in Rome by Oct. 10, through the 24. They indicated that if they arrive after the 17th, they are not to come and stay with their clergy.

Both recalling all the bishops and mandating the date and not to come if you miss the date has NEVER happened before. It should be noted, Elenin will be closest Oct. 17.
