John Paul II elevates 28 to rank of cardinal
Pope John Paul II elevated 28 new cardinals from 18 countries in St. Peter's Square including Nicaragua’s Miguel Obando y Bravo and Ethiopia’s Paulos Tzadua. Among the group were two Canadian cardinals Louis-Albert Vachon and Edoard Gagnon and U S archbishop Myroslav Lubachivsky. The pontiff warned the new princes they may face hardship or persecution yet urged faith to overcome opposition. American observers praised the ceremony with New York’s Cardinal O'Connor and Boston’s Cardinal Law leading applause.
