Joseph Coutts - a short biography - a photo on Flickriver

            Joseph Coutts was born in Amritsar, British India on 21 July 1945 and received his religious training at the Christ the King seminary in Karachi. He was ordained as a priest in Lahore during January 1971. He completed ecclesiastical studies in Rome from 1973 to 1976 and then became professor of philosophy and sociology at Christ the King Regional Seminary, Karachi, rector of St. Mary's Minor Seminary, Lahore, and diocesan vicar general from 1986 to 1988. In May 1988 he was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Hyderabad in Pakistan by Pope John Paul II and consecrated a bishop on 16 September. He was appointed Bishop of Faisalabad in June 1998. Coutts is the longtime Chairman of Caritas Pakistan and directed its earthquake relief efforts in 2005. In Faisalabad he developed ties with Muslim scholars and clerics. The Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany, awarded him the 2007 Shalom Prize for his commitment to interfaith dialogue in Pakistan. On 25 January 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Coutts as Archbishop of Karachi to succeed Archbishop Evarist Pinto. Anticipating his return to the city where he had studied and taught, he stressed the challenges posed by the city’s refugee-driven population explosion and the "sporadic bursts of violence and terrorism" that had become a feature of life in Karachi. Coutts was hospitalized with pneumonia and unable to travel to Rome to receive his pallium, the symbol of his status as a metropolitan archbishop, from Pope Benedict in June 2012. He also remained president of the Pakistan Catholic Bishops' Conference from 2011 to 2017. On 20 May 2018, Pope Francis announced he would make Coutts a cardinal in the consistory scheduled for 29 June. (Condensed from Wikipedia)
