medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Doctissimi,
I just found this on line and am surprised that, with all the coverage of
papalia, no one mentioned this rule:
"The maximum number of electors from the College of Cardinals is 120. The
college is currently composed of 194 cardinals.
Any cardinal who turns 80 before the day the Papacy is vacated, either by
death or resignation, cannot take part in the election. Currently, 135
cardinals are eligible to vote under this rule (15 of those 135 would be
disqualified from the vote because the limit is 120)."
How are the 15 disqualified cardinals selected? Seniority or lack thereof?
Other?
MG
