The creation of new cardinals is a day of celebration. That is why it is normal that, at the end of the liturgical ceremony, a great enthusiasm is felt. <\/p>\n
The new cardinals went to the Paul VI Audience Hall and to the Apostolic Palace. There people from every country and class came to greet them...<\/p>\n
...even heads of state like the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, it's a great honor for Luxembourg and it's a great honor for our archbishop, who becomes cardinal today.\u201d<\/p>\n
The excitement was palpable among the new cardinals. Some came from remote regions, where it was unusual to have cardinals among the bishops of the country.<\/p>\n
CARD. SIGITAS TAMKEVI\u010cIUS<\/strong> \u201cWhat does it mean for your country?\u201d<\/p>\n CARD. IGNATIUS SUHARYO<\/strong> The pope also made new \u201cCuria\u201d cardinals, cardinals who work in the Vatican, where the task they have at hand is very demanding.<\/p>\n CARD. MIGUEL \u00c1NGEL AYUSO GUIXOT<\/strong> CARD. MICHAEL CZERNY<\/strong> Now the total number of cardinals is 225 and 127 are electors. Of them, 52 percent have been created by Pope Francis, 33 percent by Benedict XVI and 14 percent by John Paul II. <\/p>\n Javier Romero October 7, 2019. After the consistory, the new cardinals were visited by relatives, friends and authorities from their countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20052,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KMLhWvNnIH0","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/brandomconcistoroeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/brandomconcistoroint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47566"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n\u201cThis is very important because for 50 years Lithuania went through a sort of 'Way of The Cross,' suffering through the Soviet occupation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nArchbishop of Yakarta (Indonesia)
\n\u201cRecognition.\u201d
\n\u201cIt would be too long to tell you, but also the recognition of what we have been doing in Indonesia; that is mostly trying to live in harmony among different religious communities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nPresident, Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue
\n\u201cI think with the celebration of this consistory it has become clear again that interreligious dialogue is a priority.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMigrants and Refugees Section
\n\u201cI think the Holy Father intensifies and expands our concern. To help him carry the weight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
