Bishop Stephen Chow, SJ, of Hong Kong is among the 21 new cardinals announced by Pope Francis on July 9.
Asked whether those arrested in 2019 pro-democracy protests should be treated more leniently, the 63-year-old bishop said that he that “there will be more reconciliation and [that] more hopes can be given to young people. Especially for those who have made mistakes, so that they can have a future.”
