Pope Francis to appoint 21 new cardinals to expand pool of electors in the Catholic Church

ai generated text

Pope Francis announced the installation of 21 new cardinals in a ceremony scheduled for December 8, marking his 10th consistory since his election 11 years ago. This move significantly increases the size of the College of Cardinals and reinforces Pope Francis' influence on the group. Among the new cardinals is Monsignor Angelo Acerbi, a 99-year-old retired Vatican diplomat and the oldest cardinal appointed, who was previously held hostage in Colombia for six weeks. The choice of new cardinals, including one from Iran, is seen as part of Pope Francis' efforts to promote dialogue between the Catholic Church and Islam, and his overall goal of reshaping the Church's leadership.

    1. I appeal to the international community to end the spiral of revenge and not to repeat attacks, like the one carried out by Iran a few days ago, which can plunge that region into an even bigger war.
    2. Every school superintendent, president, and prime minister picks people in their image to help their vision.
    3. All nations have the right to exist in peace and security, and their territories must not be attacked or invaded, sovereignty must be respected and guaranteed by dialogue and peace, not hatred and war.

    1. Francis has again continued to extend the reach of the college of cardinals.
    2. Like his predecessors, but even more so, he's making sure that Catholic leaders from the church's edges have a voice at the big table.
