Papal Conclave: Current Eligible Electors

 

The Next Papal Conclave: Current Eligible Electors

by Dr. Edward N. Peters

 

     The election of the Roman Pontiff has been reserved to the College of Cardinals since late in the 13th century. Under current ecclesiastical law (John Paul II, ap. con. Universi Dominici gregis, 1996) all those, but only those, cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote, except that cardinals whose names remained reserved by the pope "in pectore"  would be ineligible (UDG 33, 36). There are presently 117 cardinals, some of them retired (emeritus) from their last posts, eligible to vote in the next papal conclave (this number occasionally went over the papally self-imposed limit of 120). Voting is secret and politicking is prohibited (UDG 79-83), but the following "blocs" are noteworthy: approximately 30 Europeans (outside Italy); 20 Italians; 18 Latin Americans; 11 Americans (plus at least 7 more from heavily Anglo-cultures); and 9 Emergent Africans.
