The pope did not renew three of his closest nine cardinal councilors (C-9), but the Vatican has not explained the reasons.<\/p>\n
The three are Australian George Pell, Chilean Francisco Javier Err\u00e1zuriz, and Congolese Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya.<\/p>\n
They are 77, 85 and 79 years old respectively, yet their age does not seem to be the reason for their departure.<\/p>\n
An Australian court is currently prosecuting George Pell to verify allegations of possible child abuse. He personally declares himself 'not guilty.'<\/p>\n
Chilean archbishop Francisco Javier Err\u00e1zuriz, on the other hand, mishandled the accusations against former Chilean priest Fernando Karadima, who was later condemned for abuses. <\/p>\n
Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya has also recently been discharged from his position as archbishop of Kinshasa, for age and health reasons.<\/p>\n
The pope announced the decision to them in a letter. Additionally, he didn't name any new cardinals to take their place and said the next Council of Cardinals meeting will be in February.<\/p>\n
As of now, this Council, which helps the pope govern the Church, has six members. <\/p>\n
They are:
\n\u00d3scar Andr\u00e9s Rodr\u00edguez Maradiaga
\nGiuseppe Bertello
\nOsvald Gracias
\nPietro Parolin
\nSean Patrick O'Malley
