It's an interesting list - the fact that the Holy Father has decided to limit the number of voting cardinals to 120 means that sees like Paris, Dublin and Barcelona remain without a red hat for the time being. Also, curialists like Comastri and Cordes who were tipped have been passed over.
The list of over-80s is curious too. One might have expected more theologians to receive this honour from Papa Ratzinger.
The Cardinal from Hong Kong is a surprise too. It is thought that he may have been JPII's last in pectore appointment. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese react to this.
