One of them could one day become the successor to 86-year-old Pope Francis.
The bishop of Penang, Sebastian Francis, will be elevated to the rank of cardinal by Pope Francis in Vatican City later today.
One of them could also one day become the successor to 86-year-old Pope Francis, who has left the door open to resigning – although he says he is not there yet. Beginning at 10am local time in St Peter’s Square in Vatican City, the new cardinals will kneel before the pope to receive the two symbols of their high office: a scarlet four-cornered cap known as a biretta, and a cardinal’s ring.
That has given rise to speculation that the future spiritual leader of the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics will be cast in the same mould as Pope Francis, preaching a more tolerant Church with a greater focus on the poor and marginalised.With his latest roster of cardinals, Pope Francis has again looked to the world’s ‘peripheries’ – where Catholicism is growing – while also breaking with the practice of promoting archbishops of large, powerful dioceses.
“Traditionally, was focused on Europe or the United States, but now we need to hear from Africa and Asia,” Chow told reporters Thursday.Some cardinals-to-be, like Chow, have experience in sensitive zones of the world where the Holy See hopes to play an important diplomatic role. “Jerusalem is a small laboratory, interreligious and intercultural, and that’s a challenge that the whole world is facing at this point,” he said.
