The list includes the archbishop of Toronto as well as the British Dominican who has been preaching to the members of the Synod.

After praying the Angelus on October 6, 2024, Pope Francis announced the creation of 21 cardinals. The consistory will be held on December 8, 2024.

The new cardinals come from 18 different nationalities. Only former Italian nuncio Angelo Acerbi is over 80 years of age, and will therefore not be eligible for election in the event of a conclave.

On December 8, the college of cardinal electors should therefore include 141 electors and 115 non-voters.
