Pope Francis named 15 new cardinals Sunday, selecting them from 14 nations, including far-flung corners of the world such as Tonga, New Zealand, Cape Verde and Myanmar, to reflect the diversity of the church and its growth in places like Asia and Africa compared to affluent regions.
Francis told faithful in St. Peter’s Square that the new batch of cardinals “shows the indelible tie with the church of Rome to churches in the world.”
