At his Angelus today, Pope Francis announced the names of 20 bishops and archbishops who will receive the red biretta and become Cardinals at the upcoming Consistory on February 14th. Of the new Cardinals, 15 are under the age of 80 and would be eligible to vote in a Papal Conclave. The remaining 5 over the age of 80 are “distinguished for their pastoral charity in the service of the Holy See and of the Church,” the Pope said and “they represent so many Bishops who, with the same pastoral solicitude, have given witness of love for Christ and for the people of God in particular Churches, in the Rome Curia, and in the Diplomatic Service of the Holy See.”
