Pope Francis and those rumors about a new Consistory
Andrea Gagliarducci. Monday Vatican
Why would Pope Francis call a new consistory? It is a legitimate question that does not arise out of nowhere. Rumors about a possible creation of new cardinals have been swirling again, especially since a few hints were dropped in May. The traditionalist site Messa in Latino relaunched the news of a possible new Consistory of Pope Francis, together with the rumor—also circulating for several months—that Pope Francis will appoint Cardinal Angel Fernandez Artime SDB, outgoing Rector Major of the Salesians, as prefect of the Dicastery for Consecrated Life.
