How Pope Francis Chooses New Cardinals

Pope Francis is expected to hold his third consistory before the end of the year and create at least 13 new cardinal electors—that is, cardinals under the age of 80 with the right to vote in a conclave—including at least one American. He is also likely to give the red hat to some over that age.

While the date has yet to be finalized, sources say it is likely to be before the Jubilee of Mercy ends on Nov. 20.
