The Vatican's top diplomat also shared his thoughts on a possible papal visit to Kyiv.
In 2021, Pope Francis announced the start of what he called “a Synod on Synodality” – a two-year process meant to explore ways to promote a more “Synodal Church”.
After the August consistory there will be 133 new cardinal electors. Of these, 84 will have been chosen by Pope Francis.
The cardinal had been in Fatima on Friday evening as Francis' envoy to perform the consecration of Russia and Ukraine in person from Portugal.
