Here is today's news item, from Euronews:
Pope creates new cardinals

Pope Benedict XVI has created 22 new cardinals – his closest aides – at a ceremony in Rome’s St Peter’s Basilica. Among them 18 are under 80 and so eligible to elect the next pope.
Now, Behind the News shows what really happened:

Yeah and one of them has already started mouthing off. The new Cardinal to HK has opined on what the government ought to do. The current government is headed by a group of Chinese Catholics. though Total Christians in HK amount to about 10% of the population, they seem to be deeply entrenched in the civil service here.

One of the archbishops here (don't know if he's a cardinal) is trying to stop the corruption impeachment trial of the Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court. One of the archbishop's arguments is that the televised trial is "boring."
