Cardinals are to serve the people of God and tackle the sins of the world, not be“princes” of the Church, Pope Francis has said.
The Pope told five new cardinals that Jesus “calls you to serve like him and with him, to serve the Father and your brothers and sisters”.
The new cardinals created during a ceremony in St Peter’s Basilica were: Cardinal Jean Zerbo of Bamako, Mali, 73; Cardinal Juan José Omella of Barcelona, Spain, 71; Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Stockholm, 67; Cardinal Louis-Marie Ling Mangkhanekhoun, apostolic vicar of Pakse, Laos, 73; and Cardinal Gregorio Rosa Chavez, 74, auxiliary bishop of San Salvador, El Salvador.
