Stacking the Deck: Francis creates 5 new Cardinals

He announced it today, the consistory will be on June 28. The deck is getting stacked:

They are Archbishop Omella of Barcelona, Spain; Bishop Arborelius of Stockholm, Sweden; Archbishop Zerbo, of Bamako, Mali; Apostolic Vicar Bp. Ling, of Pakse, Laos; and, bizarrely enough, from the Archdiocese of San Salvador, El Salvador, it's Auxiliary Bishop, Bp. Rosa Chavez (the Archbishop, named by Benedict XVI in 2008, is not a Cardinal).

It’s not a hoax. The sculpture is in the Paul VI audience hall at the Vatican. It was created by Pericle Fazzini and is called The Resurrection.

Sorry for posting. Forgot this is a caucus thread. I’m not Catholic. My mistake.

I am serious.

I have never doubted your catholicity; but I’m sick and tired of fellow catholics breaking forum threads by mentioning other religions.

Well, my first and probably last trip to the Vatican was in 1972, so it wasn’t yet there to greet me (Thanks be to God). “About 1960 it will become clearer” (and thereafter) continues to take on additional, sordid meanings.

It’s real, search on the resurrection sculpture vatican, or ‘throne of Lucifer’
