Filipinos in the universal Church
Cardinal Tagle’s transfer to Rome leaves the Philippine Church without a resident cardinal in place. Cardinal Ricardo Vidal of Cebu is gone, Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales of Manila and Cardinal Orlando Quevedo of Cotabato are both retired. Filipino Catholics had hoped the last few consistories would include a new cardinal-archbishop for Cebu and another for Mindanao, but so far no one has made the grade.
