Ordinary Public Consistory for the Creation of 21 New Cardinals, held on 30.09.2023
At 10.00 morning of 30.09.2023 , on the Parvis of Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Holy Father Francis held an Ordinary Public Consistory for the creation of new Cardinals, the imposition of the biretta, the consignment of the ring and the assignation of the Title or Deaconry.
The twenty-one newly-created Cardinals who received the imposition of the birettta, the consignment of the ring and the assignation of the Title or Deaconry are:
1. Robert Francis Prevost, O.S.A., Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops;
2. Claudio Gugerotti, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches;
3. Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith;
The following is the text of the homily delivered by the Holy Father Francis during the Consistory:
Homily of the Holy Father
Thinking of this celebration and particularly of you, dear brothers, who would become Cardinals, a text from the Acts of the Apostles came to mind (cf. 2:1-11). It is a fundamental text: the story of Pentecost, the baptism of the Church… But my thoughts were really drawn to one detail: the expression spoken by the Jews who “were dwelling in Jerusalem” (v. 5). They said: We are “Parthians and Medes and Elamites” (v. 9) and so on. This long list of peoples made me think of the Cardinals, who thanks be to God, are from all parts of the world, from the most diverse nations. That is the reason I chose this biblical passage.
