Pope Francis set to name new cardinals to reflect his vision of the Catholic Church | FaithWorld

By Philip Pullella

Pope Francis is set to make the most important decisions of his young papacy in the next few weeks by naming new cardinals – the “princes of the Church” who will help him set its future course and one day elect his successor from their number….

“He will feel very free to choose the people he thinks should be in those positions, regardless of what was done before,” said Father Antonio Spadaro, the editor of the Jesuit journal Civilta Cattolica who interviewed the pope last summer.

“Certainly it will help us further understand where he wants the Church to go.”
