San Cesareo
Deskur was raised to the Cardinalate on May 25, 1985, becoming Cardinal-Deacon of "San Cesareo in Palatio," that had belonged to Pope John Paul II himself until his elevation to the Papacy. After ten years as a Cardinal-Deacon he exercised his right and his titular church was elevated and he became Cardinal-Priest. Cardinal Deskur lost the right to participate in the conclave when he turned 80 years old in 2004.
