The Holy Father created 98 year old Archbishop Loris Capovilla a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church. Because of age Capovilla did not go to Rome to receive the cardinal’s rad biretta and ring, so the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Angelo Cardinal Sodano, went to him to bestow the honor in Sotto il Monte. Cardinal Capovilla received as his titular church Santa Maria in Travestere.
The new cardinal was the distinguished secretary of Blessed John XXIII, to be canonized on 27 April 2014.
