ROME (CNN) -
Cardinal DiNardo is one of the cardinals that will help choose the next Pope.
The group will meet Monday and eventually, they will set a date for the conclave to elect the next pope.
"Every time the Pope has seen me he says something like 'uh oh, Texas is here.' So what I said to him, 'Today Texas is here, we love you,' and I thanked him especially for his homilies. He just looked at me and said, 'oh, thank you, you're welcome.' Very moving moment with Pope Benedict today," Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, of Galveston-Houston, Texas said.
