Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, center, meets cardinals during a special consistory with cardinals and bishops, in the Synod hall at the Vatican, Saturday, Feb. 14, 2015. Pope Francis is expanding the ranks of cardinals who will elect his successor to include pastors like him who minister to the poor and come from far-flung, often overlooked dioceses. Francis was formally elevating the 20 new cardinals at a ceremony Saturday in St. Peter's Basilica. Retired Pope Benedict XVI was expected to be on hand in a unique blending of popes past, present and future. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
