Canadian among 19 new cardinals to be elevated next month

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 12 Januari 2014 | 21.48

The Archbishop of Quebec, Gerald Cyprien Lacroix, is among 19 men that will be elevated to cardinals in February, according to a statement released by the Vatican this morning. 

The appointments are the first of Pope Francis' papacy, and 16 of the group will one day elect his successor. 

Those 16 new cardinals are under 80 and are "cardinal electors", meaning they can enter a conclave to choose a new pope after his death or resignation.

They are from Italy, Germany, Britain, Nicaragua, Canada,  Ivory Coast, Brazil, Argentina, South Korea, Chile, Burkina Faso, the Philippines and Haiti.

Only four of the cardinal electors are Vatican officials, chief among them Archbishop Pietro Parolin, Francis's new secretary of state, and Archbishop Mueller, the head of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation.

The most prominent elector from Europe is Archbishop Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster in London and the main link between Catholicism and the Anglican Church.

The remainder of the electors are from dioceses around the world. Four are from Latin America, including Archbishop Aurelio Poli, Francis's successor in the Argentine capital.

Two are from Africa and two are from Asia.

The three over 80, who will assume the title cardinal emeritus and will not be able to enter a conclave, come from Spain, Italy and the Caribbean island nation of Saint Lucia.

The ceremony to elevate the new cardinals, known as consistory, will be held on Feb. 22, the pope said.
