“There hasn’t been an African pope, but it’s a possibility in the Church and I think we have to make it open to that, so that the Church can get out of its barriers. You see, Pope Francis insists a lot on an open Church where we don’t make walls, we don’t build walls, but we build bridges to meet people. And I think that this eventuality, which is not necessarily a demand, if this eventuality were to arise, the universal Church would have to be ready to take it on.”

“The first problem for me is to think that evangelizing can be done like propaganda or advertising, that is, thinking that with more marketing strategies there will be more Catholic people. This is a fallacy, this does not exist, this will not be the case and I think the other challenge is to be Catholic and to live as a Catholic.”

“My grandparents are Palestinians, so this touches me very strongly. I think that the lack of sense of what it means to be a man has hurt us a lot and everyone’s ideologies, fanaticism lead us to give no value to human life.”

15. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Vicente Bokalic Iglic, new Cardinal-elect and Archbishop of Santiago del Estero, Argentina:
“I see the future of this Church, that is the continuing of the last Popes, as Pope Francis oriented it in this way, a synodal Church, a participating Church, open and very immersed into society, that listen to society. It is certain that we work hard in the context of where we are, and we do it with a missionary spirit. The church as a way out, as said. I believe that the next Pope will be along this line.”

STORYLINE:
Pope Francis is installing 21 new cardinals, many of whom are key figures in his reform agenda.

A Dominican preacher who acted as the spiritual father of Francis’ recent gathering of bishops, a Neapolitan “street priest” like himself, and a Peruvian bishop who strongly backed his crackdown on abuse, have all been promoted.

Francis’ 10th consistory to create new princes of the church is also the biggest infusion of voting-age cardinals in Francis’ 11-year pontificate, further cementing his imprint on the group of men who will one day elect his successor.

With Saturday’s additions, Francis will have created 110 of the 140 cardinals who are under age 80 and thus eligible to vote in a conclave.

The number of electors is also well above the 120-man limit set by St. John Paul II.
