Title: New cardinal pledges obedience.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-32203 NEW CARDINAL PLEDGES OBEDIENCE VATICAN CITY -- Lawrence Cardinal Shehan, Archbishop of Baltimore, listens as Pope Paul VI reads the pledge of “loyalty, submission, obedience and perpetual collaboration” taken by the new cardinals at a public consistory. As the Pope read the pledge to the 26 new Princes of the Church present, each responded, “I promise.” The cardinal received their new scarlet birettas -- three-peaked clerical caps -- but the ritual of conferring the traditional galero, or Red Hat, was eliminated. The galeros, best known insignia of a cardinal, were delivered later to the prelates at their Rome residence. Cardinal Shehan was the only American prelate among the 27 new cardinals named by the Pope. One of them was not present at the public consistory, Angel Cardinal Herrera y Oria, Bishop of Malaga, Spain. He will receive his Red Hat from Generalissimo Franco.

The pontiff is shown shaking hands with one of the Africans at the audience -- an unidentified Ugandan.

The martyrs were boys and men, from 14 to 50 years old, who were among the first converts of the White Fathers in Uganda. They were slain by King Mwanga for resisting his demands to renounce Christianity. Beatified in 1920, the Uganda martyrs now take their place with other Negro saints of the Church.
