In this video, we delve into the recent consistory celebrated by Pope Francis on September 30th, marking his ninth consistory in his 10 years as pontiff. The Pope's choice of timing for this consistory in September carries significant symbolism, as it underscores the importance of the upcoming Synod of Synodality. Many of the newly appointed cardinals hail from what Pope Francis calls the "peripheries" of the Church, emphasizing the diversity and inclusivity of his selections. Out of the 21 new cardinals, a whopping 18 are under the age of 80, making them eligible to participate in a papal conclave. With this latest addition, there are now 137 cardinal electors and 107 non-electors, totaling 243 cardinals in the College. Pope Francis has personally appointed 99 of the 137 cardinals eligible to vote in a papal conclave, which constitutes a significant majority. This number surpasses the traditional limit of 120 set by Pope Paul VI, a limit that has been exceeded several times by his predecessors, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. This video also breaks down the geographical distribution of these new cardinals. Europe will now have 53 electors, including 15 from Italy, while North America contributes 15 electors, with 11 from the United States and 4 from Canada. Latin America is represented by 24 electors, Africa by 19, Asia by 23, and Oceania by 3.
