Although Pope St. Sylvester I did not attend the council in person, he exercised his authority by sending two legates who played a key role in guiding the deliberations. This affirmed the unique and foundational role of the Bishop of Rome, the successor of St. Peter, in preserving the unity and orthodoxy of the Church. The popeβs involvement highlighted the essential principle that the Church is apostolic and guided by the Petrine ministryβa principle that would be confirmed and deepened in later councils.
The Council of Nicaea also established the method for determining the date of Easter and set a precedent for future ecumenical councils to safeguard the true faith. It stands as a lasting symbol of the Churchβs mission: to remain united in truth, grounded in apostolic tradition, and led by the pope as the visible sign of communion.
Its legacy continues to shape the doctrine, worship, and identity of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, as well as many Protestant communities.
As we celebrate this 1700th anniversary during the Jubilee Year 2025, the Church invites all the faithful to renew their commitment to the Nicene faith, to pray for Christian unity, and to stand firm in the truth handed down from the apostles.

Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsAppβs privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitorsβ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegramβs encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete wonβt remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, itβll stick around. Telegramβs competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
Mr. Durov launched Telegram in late 2013 with his brother, Nikolai, just months before he was pushed out of VK, the Russian social-media platform he founded. Mr. Durov pitched his new appβfunded with the proceeds from the VK saleβless as a business than as a way for people to send messages while avoiding government surveillance and censorship.
