The Popes

 

Possible New Cardinals;
Cardinalabili List From The US 

Anura Guruge

By now there is considerable certainty among those that care that there will be a cardinal creating consistory by Easter of 2011. I have done my bit to help those that are interested by regularly publishing up to-date data on consistory and College of Cardinal stats. Though I am not a dedicated cardinal watcher, I do have access to various cardinalabili lists in the US and in Europe. Given that there are many that believe that the next pope is not a cardinal as yet, I have to look at these lists. This list is of particular interest and I trust the author. So please have a look.

‘A pity. Forty percent of the Polish
cardinals ski’

 A refrain from his long ago mentor.

Pictorial

 
 

Raphael's 16th c. painting of his patron Julius II  (#217), 1503-1513, 'the warrior pope.' Julius gave us Michelangelo's  Sistine Chapel ceiling.

 

 

 

Pope Stats

 
 

The last pope to be 'John' was the beloved and blessed John XXIII (#262). He was, however, but the 21st legitimate pope of that name. The only 'XVI' was an antipope and there was never 'XX,' pope or antipope. There were three antipopes, in total, of that name and one 'phantom' due to documentation errors. There was also an antipope (XXIII), 1410-1415.

Another Papabili List,
This Also From The States

Anura Guruge

I have not updated my original papabili '2009' list since its initial publication in December 2008. Within reason I am waiting until there is a new crop of cardinals. As some have pointed out, there is a very good possibility that the next pope is not a cardinal as yet. I also get e-mails, on a regular basis, with suggestions, ideas, questions and even complete lists as to potential papabili. Earlier this week I did get such a list, from a proven 'expert' -- albeit US-based.
