With Saturday\u2019s additions, Francis will have created 110 of the 140 cardinals under 80, thus eligible to vote in a conclave.<\/p>\n<p>Francis appeared at the ceremony in the St. Peter\u2019s Basilica with a significant bruise on his chin, but presided over the ritual without apparent problems.<\/p>\n<p>A Vatican spokesman said later Saturday that the bruise was caused by a contusion Friday morning, when Francis hit his nightstand with his chin. The pontiff, who turns 88 later this month, appeared slightly fatigued on Saturday but carried on as normal with the scheduled ceremony. <\/p>\n<p>Francis has suffered several health problems in recent years and now uses a wheelchair due to knee and back pain. In 2017, while on a trip to Colombia, Francis sported a black eye after he hit his head on a support bar when his popemobile stopped suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>His consistory brings the number of voting-age cardinals well over the 120-man limit set by St. John Paul II. But 13 existing cardinals will turn 80 next year, bringing the numbers back down.<\/p>\n<p>This consistory is notable too because the 21 men being elevated aren\u2019t the same ones Francis named Oct. 6 when he announced an unusual December consistory.<\/p>\n<p>One of Francis\u2019 original picks, Indonesian Bishop Paskalis Bruno Syukur, the bishop of Bogor, asked not to be made a cardinal \u201cbecause of his desire to grow more in his life as a priest,\u201d the Vatican said. Francis quickly substituted him with the Naples archbishop, Domenico Battaglia, known for his pastoral work in the slums and rough parts of Naples.<\/p>\n<h2>Which country gets the most new cardinals? <\/h2>\n<p>Battaglia is one of five Italians getting the red hat, keeping the once-dominant Italian presence in the College of Cardinals strong. Turin is getting a cardinal in its archbishop, Roberto Repole, as is Rome: Baldassare Reina, who on the same day Francis announced he was becoming a cardinal also learned that Francis had promoted him to be his top administrator for the diocese of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Francis, who is technically bishop of Rome, has been conducting a years-long reorganization of the Rome diocese and its pontifical universities. Reina \u2013 who is also grand chancellor of the pre-eminent Pontifical Lateran University \u2013 will be expected to execute the reform.<\/p>\n<p>Another Italian is the oldest cardinal: Angelo Acerbi, a 99-year-old retired Vatican diplomat. He is the only one among the 21 new cardinals to be older than 80 and thus ineligible to vote in a conclave. Francis\u2019 picks on Saturday also include the youngest cardinal: the 44-year-old head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Melbourne, Australia, Mykola Bychok.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that there is a special sign which was made by the Pope to nominate me as the youngest cardinal in the world,\u201d Bychok said. \u201cUkraine has been fighting for three years, officially and maybe unofficially from 2014, after the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and two regions, Donetsk and Lugansk. \u2026 Maybe my weak voice will help to stop this war not only in Ukraine, but as well in other countries around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet another Italian is one of two Vatican priests who do jobs in the Holy See that don\u2019t usually carry the red hat: Fabio Baggio is undersecretary in the Vatican development office. Francis also decided to make a cardinal out of George Jacob Koovakad, the priest who organizes the pope\u2019s foreign travels.<\/p>\n<p>Other picks have high-profile roles in Francis\u2019 reforms.<\/p>\n<p>The archbishop of Lima, Peru, Carlos Gustavo Castillo Mattasoglio, made headlines recently because of an extraordinary essay he penned for El Pais newspaper in which he called for the suppression of an influential Peruvian Catholic movement, the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/vatican-sodalitium-peru-abuse-figari-04642fa1e9a3c00213430c07a5747cce\">Sodalitium Christianae Vitae<\/a><\/span>, which also has a presence in the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>Castillo called the group a \u201cfailed experiment\u201d of the church in Latin America, one of several conservative, right-wing movements that cropped up in the 1970s and 1980s as a counterweight to the more left-leaning liberation theology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy hypothesis is that the Sodalitium obeys a political project,\u201d Castillo wrote. \u201cIt is the resurrection of fascism in Latin America, artfully using the church by means of sectarian methods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis has recently expelled the Sodalitium\u2019s founder and <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/pope-abuse-peru-sodalicio-068c8f57dfc37aa86f14198ad08f9157\">several top members<\/a><\/span> following a Vatican investigation.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the geographic breakdowns?<\/h2>\n<p>Castillo is one of five new Latin American cardinals named by history\u2019s first Latin American pope. They include the archbishop of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, Vicente Bokalic Iglic; the archbishop of Porto Alegre, Brazil, Jaime Spengler; the archbishop of Santiago, Chile, Fernando Natalio Chomali Garib and the archbishop of Guayaquil, Ecuador, Luis Gerardo Cabrera Herrera.<\/p>\n<p>Francis has long sought to broaden the geographic diversity of the College of Cardinals to show the universality of the church, particularly where it is growing. Asia got two new cardinals: Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi, the archbishop of Tokyo; and Pablo Virgilio Sinogco David, the bishop of Kalookan, Philippines. Africa also got two new cardinals: the archbishop of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Ignace Bessi Dogbo, and the bishop of Algiers, Algeria, Jean-Paul Vesco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been an African pope, but it\u2019s a possibility in the church,\u201d Dogbo said in an interview on the eve of his installation. \u201cAnd I think that this eventuality \u2014 which is not necessarily a demand \u2014 if this eventuality were to arise, the universal church would have to be ready to take it on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis also tapped the archbishop of Tehran, Iran, Dominique Joseph Mathieu, the bishop of Belgrade, Serbia, Ladislav Nemet, while the lone North American cardinal named is the archbishop of Toronto, Frank Leo.<\/p>\n<p>The Lithuanian-born cardinal-elect, Rolandas Makrickas, has a special job in this pontificate: As the archpriest of the St. Mary Major basilica, he hosts Francis every time the pope returns from a foreign trip, since the pope likes to pray before an icon of the Madonna in the church. Additionally, Makrickas oversaw a recent financial reform of the basilica and would have been involved in identifying the future final resting place for Francis, since the Argentine pope has said he will be buried there.<\/p>\n<h2>The pope\u2019s preacher<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the most familiar new cardinal to anyone who has been following Francis\u2019 reform agenda is the Dominican Timothy Radcliff, the spiritual father of the just-concluded synod, or gathering of bishops. The years-long process aimed to make the church more inclusive and responsive to the needs of rank-and-file Catholics, especially women.<\/p>\n<p>A British theologian, the white-robed Radcliffe often provided clarifying, if not humorous interventions during the weeks-long debate and retreats. At one point he set off a mini-firestorm by suggesting that external financial pressures influenced African bishops to reject Francis\u2019 permission to allow blessings for gay couples. He later said he just meant that the African Catholic Church is under pressure from other well-financed faiths.<\/p>\n<p>As the synod was winding down, he offered some valuable perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften we can have no idea as to how God\u2019s providence is at work in our lives. We do what we believe to be right and the rest is in the hands of the Lord,\u201d he told the gathering. \u201cThis is just one synod. There will be others. We do not have to do everything, just try to take the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Associated Press writer Giada Zampano in Rome contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP\u2019s <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/ap-twir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collaboration<\/a><\/span> with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
