Pope Francis to Hold Consistory Creating 20 New Cardinals | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Saint Peter's Basilica is hosting a major event tomorrow. Pope Francis will hold a consistory that will lead to the creation of 20 new cardinals. This is the 1st consistory since November 2020. The Holy Father announced the new cardinals in May. In the group, there are 5 Italians with the youngest being just 48 years of age. After this consistory there will be 132 cardinals under the age of 80, thus eligible to vote for a new pope in a conclave. With this consistory, the electors created by Pope Francis will be 83 out of 132, more than double the 38 made by Pope Benedict XVI. With the new consistory, 3 nations will have cardinals for the first time. EWTN journalist Hannah Brockhaus provides a preview.
