Be on the look out for an announcement this week regarding a consistory for the creation of new cardinals.
That was the advice I received from an informed source at the Vatican this morning. As with all such speculation, of course, it’s never certain until the official notice. But the rumours of the past few weeks do seem to be accurate, and the expected date of the consistory is likely to be November 20-21 in Rome.
One source excitedly pointed out that apartments near the Vatican are already being readied for the occasion.
