At 11 am, in St. Peter's Basilica, the rite of the public ordinary consistory began for the creation of 6 new cardinals:
1. Cardinal James Michael Harvey, archpriest of the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, created cardinal-deacon of "San Pio V a Villa Carpegna".
2. Cardinal Béchara Boutros Raî, patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites, created cardinal-bishop of "Joubbé, Sarba and Jounieh".
3. Cardinal Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal, Major Archbishop of Trivandrum of the Syro-Malankar Church, created cardinal-presbyter of "San Gregorio VII".
4. Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, archbishop of Abuja, created cardinal-presbyter of "San Saturnino".
5. Cardinal Rubén Salazar Gómez, archbishop of Bogotá, created cardinal-presbyter of "San Gerardo Maiella".
6. Cardinal Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle, archbishop of Manilla, created cardinal-presbyter of "San Felice da Cantalice a Centocelle".
After the homily of Pope Benedict XVI and the profession of faith and oath of fidelity and obedience by the new cardinals, one by one they received the imposition of the biretta and ring and the delivery of the papal bull of cardinal creation.
Unlike other consistories, the cardinal's ring was imposed on the day of the consistory and not at Mass the following day.
It was the last consistory of Benedict XVI's pontificate, and also with the smallest number of new cardinals, almost as if to "complement" the February 2012 consistory. The following year, with the conclave, there will be no consistory, until the first one is called by Pope Francis, in February 2014.
