Global Diversity Re-Shapes Vatican's New Appointments to College of Cardinals Installation, many of whom are key figures in his reform agenda

Pope Francis has announced that he will create 21 new cardinals, including American Bishop Robert Walter McElroy of San Diego, at a consistory on August 27. Five are above age 80 and so not eligible to vote in a papal conclave.
The 85-year-old Pope made the announcement from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square after reciting the Regina Coeli prayer on May 29. Since his election in 2013, Francis has created 101 cardinals from 58 countries at seven consistories.
The last consistory to create new cardinals took place on November 28, 2020.
