Consistory

It is announced that the previously circulating internet rumours that tomorrow, Epiphany, our Holy Father will call a Consistory to create new cardinals for 22nd February (the feast of the Chair of St Peter a Rome) or thereabouts, have been re-circulated by an unusually reliable source.

An announcement may be given at Solemn Mass in GHQ at 9.30am Papal time (which is taking place without the consecration of new bishops), or possibly the Angelus at noon.
