THE SACRED COLLEGE
FULL FOR FIRST TIME SINCE
18TH CENTURY
LONDON, December 24,
Referring in his Christmas broadcast to the creation of the 32 new Cardinals, the Pope said that the Sacred College was now complete. It had been full fairly often in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but never in the nineteenth or in the twentieth till now.
The Pope added that the greatest possible number of races and peoples was represented in the Sacred College in order to reflect truly the universality of the Church. Italy would not suffer by the diminution, but on the contrary would share in the eyes of all peoples this grandeur of universality.
