LIST OF CARDINALS WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE CONCLAVE

Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca, Mexico.—Following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, the list of cardinal electors and papal candidates, who will assume the responsibility of electing the Supreme Roman Pontiff, has been released.
Currently, the Catholic Church has 252 cardinals, the vast majority appointed by Pope Francis (149), followed by a smaller number of cardinals elected by Benedict XVI (62), and finally, the 41 cardinals elected by John Paul II.

Of these 252 cardinals, only 135 cardinals, from 66 countries prior to the conclave, are under the age of 80, which allows them to elect or be elected to the Chair of St. Peter. However, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares of Spain will not attend for health reasons, and Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, who is under direct sanction from the Pope for financial crimes, will not participate in the conclave, reducing the list to 133. In this case, Cardinal Becciu is awaiting a resolution to determine whether he will be able to participate in the conclave.

Although the maximum number of cardinals participating in the conclave is 120, it is also specified that if there is a higher number, all will be eligible to participate in the conclave, provided they meet the necessary requirements to be electors and elected.

This is the list of cardinals who will participate in the conclave and from which the successor of St. Peter and pastor of the Church will be chosen.
