On the 49th
Pope names his first cardinals: 19 from Canada, Asia, Africa, Haiti,
elsewhere
The Canadian Press -
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis on Sunday named his first batch of cardinals,
choosing 19 men from Canada, Asia, Africa, and elsewhere, including Haiti
and Burkino Faso, to reflect his attention to the poor.
Francis made the announcement as he spoke from his studio window to a crowd
in St. Peter's Square.
Sixteen of the appointees are younger than 80, meaning they are eligible to
elect the next pope, which is a cardinal's most important task.
The ceremony to formally install them as cardinals will be held Feb. 22 at
the Vatican.
The appointments include Gerald Cyprien Lacroix, the Archbishop of Quebec.
Some appointments were expected, including that of his new secretary of
state, the Italian archbishop Pietro Parolin, and the German head of the
Vatican's watchdog office for doctrinal orthodoxy, Gerhard Ludwig Mueller.
But some names were surprising.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the pope's selection of
churchmen from Haiti and Burkino Faso, which are among the world's poorest
nations, reflects Francis' attention to the destitute as a core part of the
church's mission.
Also chosen to become a "prince of the church," as the cardinals are known,
was Mario Aurelio Poli, the archbishop of Buenos Aires, a post Francis left
when he was elected as the first Latin American pope in March.
His selections also came from Managua, Nicaragua; Santiago, Chile; and Rio
de Janeiro. The appointees included churchmen from Seoul, South Korea, and
the archbishop of Westminster, in Britain, Vincent Nichols.
In a sentimental touch, the three men too old to vote for the next pope
include 98-year-old Monsignor Loris Francesco Capovilla, who had served as
personal secretary to Pope John XXIII. The late pontiff will be made a saint
along with John Paul II at the Vatican in April.
