Speaking to reporters this morning outside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the new cardinal described the appointment as a new mission. “I continue to hope that there will be more reconciliation and more hopes for young people, especially those who have been in jail, so they have a future. That's very important," he said.
Chow will be the fourth cardinal in Hong Kong’s history. Two are still alive: Card Joseph Zen and Card John Tong . The first, Card John Baptist Wu, who was created cardinal by John Paul II in 1988, passed away in 2002. in his last Easter message, he mentioned the more than 6,000 arrests in connection with the 2019 pro-democracy protests, and courageously expressed hope that “those in prison [may] see the light” one day.

Yet many pro-democracy leaders arrested are practising Catholics and Card Joseph Zen, who supported the pro-democracy movement, was among the arrested and convicted .
