VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI named 22 new cardinals, announcing on Friday he will elevate them in a formal ceremony Feb. 18.
They include prelates from New York, Hong Kong, Berlin, Prague, Toronto and Florence, Italy, and some key Vatican offices. The Vatican officials include a Brazilian prelate who heads the office for Consecrated Life. Cardinals are the pope's key advisers and are members of the group that will eventually elect Benedict's successor.
