Pope Francis said he will elevate a total of 19 prelates to the rank of cardinal on February. The new cardinals include people from Italy, Germany, Britain, Nicaragua, Canada, Ivory Coast, Brazil, Argentina, South Korea, Chile, Burkina Faso, the Philippines and Haiti.

These newly appointed cardinals will be part of the elite group of men who will advise Pope Francis. 16 of them will have the authority to elect the next Pope.

The consistory which is the ceremony to elevate the new cardinals, is scheduled for February 22, 2014
