Under Pope Pius, the number of cardinals had severely dwindled. One of Pope John’s first acts was to annul a regulation dating to Sixtus IV limiting the number of members of the College of Cardinals to seventy. He enlarged it to eighty-seven, which created the largest international representation in history, including the first ever black cardinal, who was named to Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. For the first time, cardinals were also appointed in Mexico, Japan, and the Philippines. He consecrated fourteen indigenous bishops for Africa, Asia, and Oceania, affirming his position that colonialism needed to be dismantled and its aftermath addressed and rectified.
