Talk:College of Cardinals

message: Why is someone putting this extensive list of links to articles about cardinals without adding them to the list of notable cardinals?  "Notable" in this context seems to be construed as meaning "the subject of a Wikipedia article".  I've found within the last few minutes that some of the cardinals listed here who do have Wikipedia articles about them are not on that list. Michael Hardy 20:21, 11 January 2005 (UTC)

message: pope died, but
In 2003 the Pope announced he was also creating one cardinal secretly (in pectore), which would have taken effect if the appointment had been announced before the Pope's death. This prelate is believed to reside in the People's Republic of China.The Pope turned 80 yester day.
who is him? --????Pope Benidict the 16th. 
:The point of "in pectore" is that it's secret. No one apart from the pope who named him and himself knows who it was. Cardinal in pectore means cardinal in the pope's heart, don't enjoy the privileges etc. of a normal cardinal. The only thing is if a cardinal in pectore were later to become a full cardinal, his seniority (time as a cardinal) would start counting from when he was named as a cardinal in pectore. On a related note, the rumour about being in China's was I think referring to the Archbishop of Hong Kong. -- KTC 21:35, 3 April 2005 (UTC)

message: It was announced this morning that the resignation of Theodore McCarrick from the College of Cardinals was accepted last night by Pope Francis.McCarrick, 2018-07-28 I'm afraid the new table format of the pages is too complex for me to figure out how to make the appropriate edits. --Dcheney (talk) 10:46, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: One might be inclined to read this in terms of the O'Brien case in 2015O'Brien, 2015-03-20, although O'Brien resigned from "the rights and privileges of a cardinal", whereas McCarrick seems to have bluntly resigned "from the cardinalate". Cardinals have indeed resigned in the past (e.g. Louis Billot); it remains to be seen whether McCarrick remains and can still be called a cardinal of the Church.

replies: text: The statement from the Vatican was quite clear, he is no longer a Cardinal (unlike O'Brien). To quote "Pope Francis accepted his resignation from the cardinalate ..." --Dcheney (talk) 11:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes. This seems much more like Louis Billot. That’s the first comparison I’ve seen on Twitter from Massimo Faggioli. Actually he wrote "I think Billot is disgusted to be in the same group of former cardinals with McCarrick." Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 11:32, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

text: And here is the USCCB. The interpretation I expect will be less O'Brien vs McCarrick than Francis 2013 vs Francis 2018. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 11:35, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
