Among the upcoming cardinals is also the new Archbishop of Madrid<\/a>Jos\u00e9 Cobo Cano, which means that the capital of Spain will have a cardinal titular archbishop, Archbishop Cobo, and two emeriti, Cardinals Carlos Osoro and Antonio M. Rouco Varela, whom he greeted with affection yesterday, together with Nuncio Bernardito Auza, and auxiliary bishops Mart\u00ednez Camino and Jes\u00fas Vidal, in the homily at the beginning of his ministry in the cathedral of La Almudena in Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The August session <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the previous Consistory<\/a> At the end of August of last year, when the Pope appointed 20 new cardinals (15 electors and 5 non-electors because they were over 80 years old), the College of Cardinals had 229 cardinals, of whom 132 were electors. Slightly more than 40 % were European, 18 % were Latin American, 16 % were Asian, 13 % were African, 10 % were North American, and slightly more than 2 % were Oceanic. Now, to the 229 cardinals must be added the 21 of this consistory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This consistory<\/a> will be the ninth of Francis' Pontificate. The first was on February 22, 2014, followed by those of February 14, 2015; November 19, 2016; June 28, 2017; June 28, 2018; October 05, 2019; November 28, 2020 and August 27, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Angelus prayer, these were the Pope's words: \"I am happy to announce that on 30 September I will celebrate a Consistory for the creation of new cardinals. Their origin expresses the universality of the Church, which continues to proclaim God's merciful love for all people on earth. The inclusion of the new Cardinals in the Diocese of Rome also manifests the inseparable bond between the See of Peter and the particular Churches throughout the world.
