Pope Francis is presiding over a ceremony to create 21 new cardinals
Cardinal-elect and Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Christophe Pierre poses for cameras during a press point at The Vatican, Friday, Sept. 29, 2023, ahead of his elevation in St. Peter's Square at The Vatican on Saturday. Pope Francis presided over a ceremony Saturday to create 21 new cardinals, including key figures at the Vatican and in the field who will help enact his reforms and cement his legacy as he enters a crucial new phase in running the Catholic Church.
Among the new cardinals are the controversial new head of the Vatican’s doctrine office, Victor Manuel Fernandez, and the Chicago-born missionary now responsible for vetting bishop candidates around the globe, Robert Prevost. At the same time, he added, the conductor must "help each person and the whole orchestra develop the greatest creative fidelity: fidelity to the work being performed, but also creative, able to give a soul to the score, to make it resonate in the here and now in a unique way.”
It was a much-debated decision given Fernandez himself has admitted he made mistakes handling a case while he was bishop in La Plata, Argentina, and that the scale of the problem globally has long cried out for authoritative, high-ranking leadership.
