Pope Francis on Sunday announced that he will create
fourteen new cardinals in a Consistory scheduled to take place on June 29th.
In the surprise announcement following his Regina Caeli
address, the Pope noted that the places from which the new cardinals come
“expresses the universality of the Church, which continues to announce the
merciful love of God to all men and women on earth”.
Universality of Church
The men who will receive their red hats from the Pope
include bishops from Iraq, Pakistan, Portugal, Peru, Madagascar, Italy and
Japan.

unbreakable bond between the See of Peter and the local Churches throughout the
world”.
Alongside them, Pope Francis also nominated to the College
