In May 2026, the Pontifical Missionary Works convened their General Assembly in Rome to wrestle with one of the Church's oldest tensions: how a body scattered across continents and cultures can move as one. Cardinal Tagle offered a theological compass, grounding both mission and unity in the sacrament of Baptism — suggesting that what holds the Church together is not structure, but a shared spiritual origin. The assembly produced no sweeping reforms, but planted a framework that may quietly reshape how the global Church understands its own coherence.
