Death Of Cardinal May Spur Call For Consistory
The death of Aloisius Cardinal Muench, the third cardinal to die in 10 days, boosts expectations that Pope John XXIII will convene a consistory to raise the College of Cardinals. Vatican sources say the pope may lift membership toward an all time high before Easter to prepare for the Ecumenical Council opening Oct 11. Cardinal Muench, 72, an American and former bishop of Fargo, dies in Rome while two other Curia members Gaetano Cicognani and Teodosio Clemente de Gouveia had died last week. The deaths reduce the college to 77, with a possible creation of 10 to 12 new princes and, speculatively, a possible total of 100. The American cardinal count falls to five with Cushing, McIntyre, and Meyer remaining, alongside Muench’s vacancy.
