FILE CARDINAL DESIGNATE PETROCCHI
Archbishop Giuseppe Petrocchi of L’Aquila, Italy, was one of 14 new cardinals named by Pope Francis May 20. Cardinal-designate Petrocchi believes the pope named him a cardinal as a gesture of solidarity and charity to a diocese devastated by a 2009 earthquake. He is pictured after greeting the pope during Mass on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican June 29, 2013.
