John Paul II named 30 new cardinals, including seven officials in the Roman Curia, and announced they would get their red hats at a consistory Oct. 21.
The Pope also announced a 31st cardinal “in pectore” — close to his heart — whose name he is not yet making public. Nineteen of the cardinals-to-be are archbishops of major episcopal sees. Four are priests whom the Pope is acknowledging for their service to the Church.
