Pope Francis (r. 2013–present) held the first consistory of his pontificate on 22 February 2014, where he raised 19 to the rank of cardinal. For the first time, a Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, attended a consistory. A second consistory was held on 14 February 2015. ==22 February 2014== On 31 October 2013, Pope Francis announced plans to name new cardinals in a consistory on 22 February 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/10/31/new_cardinals_to_be_created_in_february_2014/en1-742446 )〕 In December 2013, he said that rumors that he might name a woman cardinal were not to be taken seriously. He announced the names of 19 new cardinals on January 12, 2014. Sixteen were under the age of 80, eligible to vote in papal conclaves. Observers attempting to interpret Francis' approach to naming cardinals noted the absence of certain names, including the heads of the dioceses of Venice and Turin and the Vatican Librarian and Archivist. Others noted a preference for clerics with pastoral experience and only a single theologian, Müller. John L. Allen said the choices made the February meeting the "Consistory of the Periphery", noting the "broad global distribution" of the new cardinals. Of the nomination of the archbishop of Perugia rather than those of more prestigious dioceses like Turin and Venice, ''La Stampa'' said: "Any career planners in the Church who had the path from the seminary to the cardinalship set out very clearly in their minds will have to think again." Pope Francis sent a letter to each cardinal-designate that said: Those made cardinal at the consistory were: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI attended the consistory. He doffed his zucchetto when Pope Francis came down the nave of St. Peter's Basilica to greet him,〔 and took a seat in a row with several cardinals using a chair the same as theirs. Loris Francesco Capovilla was granted a dispensation and did not attend the consistory. Prior to the consistory, there were 106 cardinals under the age of 80 and eligible to participate in the election of a pope. Another 10 were to turn 80 in the remainder of 2014. The maximum of participants in a papal conclave, though often waived, is set at 120. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardinals created by Francis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
