Most Rev Dr Malcolm Ranjith was formally elevated to the status of Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI at the St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican a short while ago. Pope Benedict XVI formally elevated 24 new cardinals in the midst of cheers in St. Peter's Basilica. .jpg)

The square red hat resembles the Blood of those Martyred. This surely ritual and tradition, bible too contains such. we need to pray without ceasing, for the power of God manifest to intervene and transform any situ. I don't know why people mix politics with religion and make absurd comments.

God Bless you Farther and our Little Sri Lanka.
Lord please teach us to respect all nationalities and religions and treat them as brothers and sisters as Jesus Christ taught us.
I now reside in a Middle East country and these people are more open minded than some radical Sri Lankans.

Its a pride for Sri Lanka. I hope you can do much for Sri Lanka than you have done previously. The country waits for your services.
Joseph Michaels Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:51 PM
This is a blessing to all Sri Lankans! Cardinal Ranjith has accomplished a lot on behalf of us. The people who know, know. From the comments posted above, you see the presence of skeptics and ill-wishers. But as Christ Jesus thought us, we will rejoice on this joyous occasion with humility and will welcome all as it is. Through God, anything and everything is possible. People might call it a blind faith, but the presence of the Holy Spirit within me and within the enormous numbers of people in the catholic faith, gives me hope for a better tomorrow. Congratulations Cardinal! A person who truly deserves the credit!

What's in it for Sri Lanka?
chris abey Saturday, 20 November 2010 02:40 PM
I take back this comment as it has a political hue. I tend to politicize everything and my uncle pointed that out to me. So sorry.

N Hesara Saturday, 20 November 2010 12:03 PM
Congrtz...Hope he will render his heart and service for peace and harmony amongst all Sri Lankans as a true son of mother Lanka...
chris abey Saturday, 20 November 2010 12:20 PM
God Bless and strengthen our Cardinal.May he stand up and speak out for the poor and against injustice and corruption just as Jesus did.A great honor for Sri Lanka at a very crucial time in our country.He must make his voice heard.
M Silva Saturday, 20 November 2010 12:46 PM
Well, it's a grand ritual all right. I wonder why the presentation of the hat is so important for him to be present at Rome with an entourage. That would have cost a hefty sum indeed! By the way, did Lord Jesus Christ too put on this kind of hats on his twelve disciples? I can't remember reading anything of the sort in the Bible. Well religion has changed indeed, over the years.
Shivanka David Saturday, 20 November 2010 12:59 PM
May God Bless you Rev. Fr. Malcolm Ranjith and may god give you the strength and courage for everything. Amen

May God bless him.
meranchi Saturday, 20 November 2010 02:46 PM
may god bless him and protect him by lord all mighty, in the name of Jesus christ of nazareth...
Critical thinker Saturday, 20 November 2010 03:01 PM
We can only hope that he does so....I am as joyful as u r at this point. Simply because of the fact that we have a cardinal (just for face value sake!!...) but sadly, I dont think he is likely to to speak out against poverty, injustice or (especially) corruption.....can u give me any example where he has done so as yet?
yohan kumar Saturday, 20 November 2010 03:20 PM
