Archbishop Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, Texas will be the first Cardinal from the state of Texas. Cardinal DiNardo is now also a cardinal elector, meaning that he will have a vote in the election of the pope.
"Archbishop DiNardo, whose diocese consists of 1.3 million Catholics, said in reaction to his appointment: 'I am deeply grateful to the Holy Father for his kindness in appointing me and for his trust in allowing me to be placed in the College of Cardinals. May I immediately add that it is also very humbling and surprising! I promise him my fullest communion, loyalty and obedience.'" (Read more from ZENIT Catholic News)
