The Spanish Vaticanist Francisco Jose Fernandez de la Cigona posted a list of the 20 youngest Cardinals in the Church Senate, it was here widened to include 25 of the youngest Cardinals and with corrections and above all some completion. Among the 25 bearers of the purple, there are two Italians, but three US- Americans, two Poles, two Brazilians and four Cardinals from the German speaking areas (two of the Bundesrepublic of Germany, one Austrian and a Swiss). The two from Germany are at the same time the youngest Cardinals of the Holy College. The Viennese Archbishop Cardinal Christoph von Schönborn is the only one who belongs to an order. [Dominican]

Schnorborn: Liberal in conservative clothing
Cardinal Alencherry is very trad friendly - I met him on the Chartres pilgrimage several years ago.
Both Brazilians are 'liberals', unfortunately. João Braz de Aviz is a progressionist, president of CNBB, a catholic organization completely subverted by the Liberation Theology, and Odilo Schener is progressionist too, he is very responsible for the growth of Marxism inside the church for his belief that the Liberation Theology is "extinct". Both also don't demonstrate a concrete opposition against the idea of abolishing celibacy and are uninterested to expand Catholic’s church influence in the country.
Joao Aviz is for the Liberation Theology 100% and Scherer 50% - so they are no good to direct the church at all. God help us!!!
What an incomplete list, where is Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle?
Aged 56, he is the second youngest Cardinal in the enclave of the third largest catholic country on earth.
Scholastically, his Archdiocese of Manila has much to offer to the world Manila having historically converted from Taoism, Islam and Tantrism to the Catholicism of the Latin American variety. ITs a Catholicism exposed to Freemasonic Philosophies but having an immunity to it now (Because Freemasonry betrayed their Katipunan)
What a shame that he's not even mentioned.
