Pope Francis names 21 new cardinals, including prelates based in Hong Kong and Jerusalem
VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis on Sunday announced he has chosen 21 new cardinals, including prelates from Jerusalem and Hong Kong — places where Catholics are a small minority.
Among those tapped are several prelates holding or about to assume major Vatican posts, like Argentine Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez, whom the pope just named to lead the office for ensuring doctrinal orthodoxy.
The new cardinals also include Hong Kong Bishop Stephen Sau-yan Chow and the Vatican's top official in the Middle East, Monsignor Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. (AP)

Vatican Papi has only named them. But selection done by WMD industry and bible belt. Otherwise how do you explain successive Popes preaching universal brotherhood but support wars (on some false pretext) and have killed millions of humans. When fundamental human right to seek livelihhod is denied by geographical segregation and exploitation and criminals and their descendants assume the right to criticise / judge / preach without adding an iota of real value to affected, why do we need these people. Pay 5 rs once and convert. Then keep collecting for rest of the life and successive geberations. Huge business modelRead allPost comment
