List of living cardinals

"List of cardinals" redirects here. For a list of cardinals in mathematics, see list of large cardinal properties.

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:

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.
