Cardinals created by Benedict XV

They included Achille Ratti, his successor as Pope Pius XI and one name, that of the German Adolf Bertram, reserved in pectore for three years.

Four of the six received their cardinals' galeri and their titular church assignments on 9 December,[2] while Frühwirth and Leguigno remained at the nunciatures in Munich and Vienna.

[6] All ten, joined by the papal diplomat Andreas Frühwirth, a native of Austria who was made a cardinal a year earlier, attended the public consistory on 7 December where they received their red galeri and were assigned their titular churches.

[8] All attended the public consistory three days later to receive their cardinals' galeri and be assigned their titular church or deaconry,[8] except for Juan Soldevila y Romero, Archbishop of Zaragoza.

[16][17] Benedict named three Italian cardinals at his last consistory, including Achille Ratti, who succeeded him as Pope Pius XI in February 1922.
