Papal Audience and Cardinal Appointments in Rome
In Rome on Tuesday the Persian ambassador Thomas Koult-Kan kissed the Pope’s feet after a long audience. The Sardinian envoy Count Rovera arrived from Turin. A courier was sent to the Pope’s Nuncio at Florence to reach Paris and then Madrid and Lisbon. The Pope signals future nuncios may be made Cardinals after their departures from Spain and Portugal, while Portugal hints at elevating its Madrid nuncio to Cardinal. A private consistory saw Cardinal Gotti take St Sixtus the Old, Cardinal Marini and the Bishop of Bicento reassigned, and Cardinal Colonna hopeful on Prince Eugene of Savoy's succession.
