A cardinal is not the boss of other bishops, as the hierarchy of the Catholic Church might suggest. A cardinal is actually still a bishop himself, and "cardinal" is actually just an additional title he receives. Note that, according to Church law, new cardinals should be ordained bishops before being considered for appointment as cardinals. In some rare instances, however, elderly priests who have gained great esteem and have performed admirably for the Church can be appointed as cardinals without first being appointed as bishops. Among the cardinals, there are three separate ranks: cardinal bishops, cardinal priests, and cardinal deacons. No rank is "higher" than the others, per se, but each rank does have its own responsibilities. Cardinal bishops are bishops within Rome who are involved in full-time service to the central administration of Church affairs within the Roman Curia, or governing body of the Church. Cardinal priests are bishops with dioceses outside of Rome. Cardinal deacons are bishops in title whose primary duties involve full-time service to the Roman Curia. Technically, you can be appointed as a cardinal as long as you are the bishop of just about any diocese, but the bishops or archbishops of certain dioceses are historically more likely to be selected than many others. Once you reach this stage of preparation, take a look at the bishops who have been made cardinals over the past few decades to determine where your best odds lie. Traditionally, within the United States, Baltimore and Boston are the two dioceses most commonly headed by a cardinal. Note that an archbishop is a bishop who governs over his own diocese while also leading the bishops of other smaller dioceses within a wider, metropolitan district. As with becoming a bishop, there is no way to run or apply for a job as a cardinal. Instead, you need to hope that the current Pope sees your efforts, recognizes them as spiritually significant, and determines that you should be a cardinal by God's will. In addition to the suggestions already mentioned, it helps to be a notably pious bishop. Regardless of the diocese you serve, as a bishop, you must demonstrate your dedication to God's will and desire to lead the Catholic faithful of the flock you've been given charge of in order to be noticed and considered. Once you are selected to become a cardinal, you will be given the right garb during an official ceremony, during which you will also need to take a vow to express your dedication in your new position. During the ceremony, you will receive a scarlet zucchetto (skullcap) and scarlet biretta (four-cornered silk hat), as well as a ring signifying your new title. One rough translation of the Cardinals' Oath is as follows: "I [name and surname], Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, promise and swear to be faithful henceforth and forever, while I live, to Christ and his Gospel, being constantly obedient to the Holy Roman Apostolic Church, to Blessed Peter in the person of the Supreme Pontiff Francis, and of his canonically elected Successors; to maintain communion with the Catholic Church always, in word and deed; not to reveal to any one what is confided to me in secret, nor to divulge what may bring harm or dishonor to Holy Church; to carry out with great diligence and faithfulness those tasks to which I am called by my service to the Church, in accord with the norms of the law. So help me Almighty God."

If a piece of clothing has gone out of style, you can try updating it to a more current look that is in fashion. Embellishments such as zippers, studs, and glitter can jazz up a tired shirt or skirt and turn it into something new. If the hems of your pants are frayed, but they still fit you well, try cropping them into shorts. You could also turn a long skirt into a shorter skirt or a T-shirt to a crop-top. Dye can add some vibrancy to a tired garment. Try a new hue to liven up your look. Sew a contrasting pocket on an old T-shirt for an update. Make a completely new garment out of the fabric of your old clothes. If you're going to do this, it's best to start with an item like a dress or large T-shirt where more fabric will be available to begin with. Use your imagination to cut and sew yourself something new, for example a belt, tube top or skirt. There are many patterns available on the internet for people who are new to sewing. Use the fabric from your old clothes to cover a cloth headband, for example, or use thin strips of multiple fabrics to braid a bracelet or necklace. Turning an old T-shirt into a stylish tote bag is easy, too.

After the brownie bites have been dipped in chocolate and decorated, place them in refrigerator again. Chill them until the chocolate hardens.
