VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis appointed 13 new cardinals in a surprise move on Sunday, again putting his stamp on the future of a Church he wants to be more open as most of those named are considered progressive on social issues.
The new group, which includes bishops and archbishops from Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia and Guatemala, will be installed at a ceremony known as a consistory on Oct. 5. Many of those named on Sunday have reputations as progressives on social issues such as immigration and share Francis’ support of dialogue with non-Christians.
One of the new cardinals, Czech-born Canadian Jesuit priest Michael Czerny, is the Vatican’s expert on migration, a choice reflecting Francis’ defence of immigrants.
