List of living cardinals
The following is a sortable list of living cardinals in the Catholic Church. For example, to see the cardinals listed alphabetically by country, click on the box at the top of the "Country" column. Cardinals aged over 80 years on the day the papacy falls vacant cannot participate in a papal conclave, so those born before 8 December 1936 could not participate if the Papacy fell vacant today.
The indication of "country" is that given by the press office of the Holy See "according to nations".[1]
The person who has been a cardinal the longest is Paulo Evaristo Arns, who was elevated by Pope Paul VI on 5 March 1973.
As of 28 November 2016:
- there are 228 cardinals, 120 of whom would be eligible to vote if the papacy fell vacant today. There are two living former cardinals: Joseph Ratzinger and Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who were cardinals at the time of their respective elections as Pope Benedict XVI in 2005 and Pope Francis in 2013. (Ratzinger is now Pope emeritus Benedict XVI.)
- Keith O'Brien is the only cardinal under the age of 80 not eligible to vote at a papal conclave. Though he retains his title, he renounced the rights and privileges of a cardinal on 20 March 2015.[2]
- Théodore-Adrien Sarr was the last cardinal to turn 80 on 28 November 2016.
- Audrys Bačkis will be the next cardinal to turn 80 on 1 February 2017.
- Franciszek Macharski was the last cardinal to die on 2 August 2016.
List
The College of Cardinals is divided into three orders: Cardinal-Bishops, Cardinal-Priests and Cardinal-Deacons, with precedence in that order. Sorting the table by order will sort by precedence, including within each order. The number of cardinals eligible to vote appears in parentheses.
