VATICAN, February 24, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On March 25, Pope Benedict XVI will elevate fifteen men to the College of Cardinals. Of the fifteen, only twelve will be of an age to vote in the conclave for a new pope and thus the remainder are seen as honorific appointments.
LifeSiteNews.com has compiled a short summary of pro-life and pro-family statements by those twelve. Those statements reveal that the Pope has placed a high priority on choosing Cardinals who are firm defenders of the sacredness of life, the natural family and traditional Christian morality. A number of the new cardinals have been especially outspoken and active on these issues.
The twelve new cardinals are:
- Archbishop William Joseph Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
- Archbishop Franc Rode C.M., prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
- Archbishop Agostino Vallini, prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.
- Archbishop Jorge Liberato Urosa Savino of Caracas, Venezuela.
- Archbishop Gaudencio B. Rosales of Manila, Philippines
- Archbishop Jean-Pierre Ricard of Bordeaux, France
- Archbishop Antonio Canizares Llovera of Toledo, Spain
- Archbishop Nicholas Cheong Jin-suk of Seoul, Korea
- Archbishop Sean Patrick O'Malley O.F.M. Cap., of Boston, U.S.A.
- Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow, Poland.
- Archbishop Carlo Caffarra of Bologna, Italy.
- Bishop Joseph Zen Ze-kiun S.D.B. of Hong Kong, China
