Pope Francis announced Sunday that he will create 21 new cardinals Aug. 27, including Bishop Robert W. McElroy of San Diego, long seen as one of his key allies in the United States. SOURCE Peter Ebere Okpaleke (born on 1 March 1963) in Amesi, Anambra State, Nigeria. I am elated and full of joy with the announcement of the elevation of Bishop Peter Ebere Okpaleke of the Diocese of Ekwulobia to a Cardinal. His elevation is yet another positive testimony of the many good things that can come out of Nigeria. Peter Obi Hearty congratulations to Bishop Peter Ebere Okpaleke of the Diocese of Ekwulobia on his elevation to the rank of Cardinal. His membership of the College of Cardinals is well-deserved and propitious. Here's wishing His Eminenc-designate, God's blessings and Grace.- OHO Oseloka Obaze 23 Likes 2 Shares

This guy was rejected by Mbaise people as their Bishop because he hailed from Anambra State. But those that brought the Gospel to Onitsha and entire Igbo land were from Ireland. As Mbaise diocese of Ahiara rejected him. He exclaimed: " my bones shall rest in Ahiara Diocese" that alone signalled his faith, courage and readiness to die for the sake of God, because it was God that called him to be a pastor and leader in Mbaise. Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State then, he prevailed on him to forget about Mbaise diocese, that God knows the best. bishop Peter went back to his home diocese of Awka and remained without an Episcopal see. Some where calling him a Bishop in a parish, some called him Vagus Bishop. He kept his faith and keep on contributing to the work of God. In 2020 Pope Francis appointed him as Bishop of the new diocese of Ekwulobia in Anambra state that's Governor Soludo's home Diocese. He packed his luggage to Ekwulobia without fear to lay foundation for the diocese. Barely 3 years, he is now appointed Cardinal, the highest ranking cleric after the Pope. He will take part in the next elections ( conclave) to elect a new Pope if Pope Francis dies or resigns. My people God writes on a crooked line. The rejected is now the chief corner stone. Cardinal Peter Okpaleke is only 59yrs and will be able to vote in a new Pope or be voted for, for the next 21yrs. He can speak Italian, German etc as he studied in Rome. My people Is a black Pope starring us in the face?...only God knows I am Proudly Mormon (Latter-day Saints) but I read this guy's story with Mbaise people and have been following his development since then... 211 Likes 19 Shares |

blazingblender: The eariy Catholic missionaries found Igboland fertile to spread the Faith and the Catholic Church played a key role helping the refugees during the Biafra/Civil war and also sow the seeds of Religious vocations among young men and women that has translated to the interest in becoming Priests and Reverend Sisters over the decades especially after the war. The Catholic Church was the major driver of Western education in Igboland as there is always a school attached to a Parish over the century. 42 Likes |
