MANILA, Philippines - The elevation of Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle to the College of Cardinals by Pope Benedict XVI will make the Filipino prelate a potential future Pope, according to Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli in her write-up in the Vatican Insider.
The other new cardinals are: Archbishop James Michael Harvey of the United States; Abuja, Nigeria Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan; Bogota, Colombia Archbishop Ruben Salazar Gomez; Patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites in Lebanon, His Beatitude Bechara Boutros Rai; and the major Archbishop of the Trivandrum of the Siro-Malankaresi in India, His Beatitude Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal.

Tornielli added: Despite the College of Cardinals drive for internationalization, which Pius XII had given strong impetus to, cardinal percentages still reflect Old Europe s heavy influence and are not in tune with the development and expansion of Catholicism in the last half century.

At the moment there are no particular concerns regarding Benedict XVI s health. He will be celebrating his 86th birthday next April.

"While the favorite during the last Consistory was the Archbishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, it now appears to be Filipino Cardinal Tagle. He is considered to be too young for the papacy, should a conclave be held in the next two to three years but his influence is nevertheless destined to grow, Tornielli pointed out.
