With the new appointments, Pope Francis has created 110 of 140 voting-age cardinals, marking a substantial influence on the future selection of his successor.
The move represents Pope Francis' commitment to a more inclusive and universal church, with new cardinals from diverse regions including Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Ignace Bessi Dogbo emphasized the potential for an African pope, suggesting that if such a scenario arises, the universal church must be prepared for it.
Pope Francis’ ongoing effort to broaden the College of Cardinals illustrates his vision for a church that reflects the global community of believers.
