Once the Consistory was finished, the five new cardinals met with journalists and people from all over the world who wanted to personally congratulate them in Paul VI Audience Hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What some did not know was that only moments before, they had made a special visit to Benedict XVI with Pope Francis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CARD. JUAN JOS\u00c9 OMELLA
\nArchbishop of Barcelona (Spain)
\n'It was a very interesting moment, and I see that the relationship between them is good, and the Holy Father Benedict XVI also welcomed us with paternal solitude.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul VI Audience Hall was filled with people, and the heat of Rome wreaked havoc on more than one person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CARD. LOUIS-MARIE LING MANGKHANEKHOUM
\nApostolic vicar of Pakse (Laos)
\n'Now I'm hot, but everything is fine, no problem. A new life begins, it's all good.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
What all of the cardinals could agree with was that this appointment was a new beginning for each of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CARD. GREGORIO ROSA CH\u00ed\u0081VEZ
\nAuxliary Bishop of San Salvador (El Salvador)
\n'I will continue doing the same thing I did before, along with the things now entrusted to me by the pope, which I do not know yet. It's like a blank chalkboard written on the part of Pope Francis.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Cardinal Jean Zerbo of Mali was undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed.<\/p>\n
Though it was a long day for all of them, it will be one they remember forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
