The New Cardinals | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is truly good news that Archbishop Chaput was not rewarded for his political antics with a red hat.  I am also quite sure that the Dominicans hate that Haiti got a red hat - which is entirely in line with the Franciscan message on elevating the poor.  Letting Montreal keep primacy in Canada when it is not the capital seems like something that needs to be corrected.  I suspect, in part, that it has been.  Ultimately, the elevation to cardinal will have less meaning if, as I suspect he will, more national patriarchs are appointed and made autocephalous in both governance and election.
