Pope Francis announced at the Angelus Sunday that a Consistory will be held on December 8 for the creation of 21 new cardinals. The new princes of the Church will come from all over the world, he said. Among them are Roberto Repole, archbishop of Turin and Baldassarre Reina, "from today vicar general of the diocese of Rome", said Francis. At the Angelus the Argentine pontiff also reiterated his sympathies with Israel and again urged the release of all their hostages in the hands of Hamas in Gaza. "Tomorrow it will be one year since the terrorist attack against the population in Israel, to whom I renew my closeness. "Let us not forget that there are still many hostages in Gaza, for whom I ask for their immediate release." Source: Ansa News Agency
