<p>The<a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255528/pope-creates-21-new-cardinals-continues-expansion-of-college-s-geographic-diversity" target="null" rel="noopener"> last consistory</a> to create new cardinals took place on Sept. 30, 2023. The new cardinals included Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem; Cardinal Stephen Chow of Hong Kong; and Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. </p>
<p>Fifteen members of the College of Cardinals have turned 80 since the last consistory, thus losing their chance to participate in a future papal election. </p>
<p>After the December consistory, there will be 141 cardinal electors (barring the unexpected death of any of the cardinals) — 111 (79%) of whom have been appointed by Pope Francis.</p>
