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 the Papal conclave, so those born before 5 May 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.
New cardinals were created most recently on 14 February 2015.
As of 14 April 2016:
- there are 215 cardinals, 115 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 were cardinals prior to their elections as Popes Benedict XVI and Francis in 2005 and 2013, respectively.
- 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]
- Ivan Dias was the last cardinal to turn 80 on 14 April 2016.
- Karl Lehmann will be the next cardinal to turn 80 on 16 May 2016.
- Georges Cottier was the last cardinal to die on 31 March 2016.
