Understanding the Role of a Cardinal in the Catholic Church
A cardinal is a senior ecclesiastical official, usually a bishop, appointed by the Pope. Cardinals are typically advisors to the Pope and, if under the age of 80, are eligible to vote in a papal conclave to elect a new Pope. While an archdiocese has an active Archbishop, a former Archbishop can be elevated to the rank of Cardinal upon retirement, retaining the title and connection to their former See.
