Canonization news and Levant convoy reports in May
In a late May, papal consistory honors three new saints and discusses papal canonizations with indulgences granted for pilgrims to St. John Lateran, St. Peter’s, and St. Sophia. The Bolivian ambassador presents a statue, while donations pour in from princes. The Levant convoy and troop movements are noted, with sieges and military preparations across Europe and the Swiss cantons debating peace and war amid broader imperial diplomacy.
