Input: Pope Francis created 19 new cardinals Saturday in a ceremony in the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica -- the first such appointments since he was elected pontiff last March. The new cardinals come from countries around the world, hailing from as far afield as Brazil, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, South Korea and Haiti. The pope presented them with the traditional biretta, or red cap, and ring at a formal ceremony called a public consistory. The scarlet color of the cap symbolizes the cardinals' willingness to die for their faith. Looking frail, Benedict, the Pope Emeritus, lined up with the existing cardinals for the ceremony in the historic church.Pope Francis presents the new cardinals with their traditional red cap and ringPope Emeritus Benedict is present for the ceremony in St. Peter's BasilicaThe new cardinals hail from around the world, and most are under age 80Francis has advised them to follow "the way of lowliness and of humility" in their new role
