Cardenal Luis Cabrera viaja a Roma para asistir al funeral del papa Francisco y al cónclave

Newly-appointed Equatorian cardinal Luis Gerardo Cabrera Herrera poses during a courtesy visit following his appointment by the Pope at an Ordinary Public Consistory for the creation of new cardinals, at St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, on December 7, 2024. On December 7, Pope Francis will create 21 new cardinals from five continents, including bishops from Algiers, Tehran, Tokyo and Abidjan, many of whom may one day help choose his successor. In the tenth such consistory since he became pope in 2013, Francis, 87, is seeking again to shape the upper echelons of the Catholic Church in his image, and consolidate his legacy as the leader of a more inclusive and global institution.
