The new cardinals come from countries including the United States, Italy, Argentina, Switzerland, South Africa, Spain, Colombia, South Sudan, Hong Kong, Poland, Malaysia, Tanzania, and Portugal.
1st Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, Patriarch of Antioch and Apostle of Jesus Christ -Pope Francis on Sunday announced that he would elevate 21 churchmen to the high rank of cardinal, again putting his mark on the group that will one day choose his successor after his death or resignation.
Eighteen of the 21 are under 80 and will be able to enter an eventual secret conclave to choose the next pope. They are known as cardinal electors. The other three new cardinals, who are 80 or over and too old to vote in a conclave, were named to thank them for their long service to the Church.
