Cardinal-elect has a few post-synod words

Evangelization more than strategy, says Archbishop Luis Tagle
Catholic News Agency interviewed a cardinal-elect who said he was encouraged by the recent bishops' synod in Rome, which emphasized an encounter with the risen Christ as the basis of all evangelization.

Archbishop Luis A. Tagle of the Philippines attended the Oct. 7-28 new evangelization synod in Rome, during which it was announced that the Manila prelate was among six bishops to be appointed cardinal. The group will be elevated at a consistory to be held Nov. 24.

Archbishop Tagle will be appointed to the Congregation for Catholic Education upon his elevation. At 55, he will become the world's second youngest cardinal. The Announcement came three days after the canonization of the second Filipino saint, Pedro Calungsod.
