On an extraordinary day, an extraordinary man became a cardinal
In an extraordinary moment like this one, the temptation is to focus just on the honor. Sometimes, it’s especially tempting for the person receiving the honor. Within minutes—at 11 a.m. Rome time on Nov. 19—Cardinal-designate Joseph W. Tobin will stand near the central altar at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. There, in a ceremony called a consistory, he will soon be installed by Pope Francis as one of 17 new cardinals in the Church. At 64, he will become the youngest of the 18 American-born cardinals.

Priests, parishioners reflect on closing Holy Year of Mercy liturgy
Father Andrew Syberg’s face glows as he shares how he felt concelebrating the Nov. 20 Mass that ended the Holy Year of Mercy with Pope Francis, Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin and hundreds of priests from around the world. “It was pretty overwhelming,” said Father Syberg, associate pastor of St. Bartholomew Parish in Columbus, about the outdoor Mass in St. Peter’s Square that drew tens of thousands of people. “I’m sitting here in St. Peter’s, and there’s the pope, Cardinal Tobin, my brother priests and all these people celebrating mercy.” Even more importantly, Father Syberg said, that celebration of mercy should lead people back to the source of all mercy.
