A partir dessa pesquisa, RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA concluiu que foi São Paulo VI quem estabeleceu, em 20 de novembro de 1970, que cardeais com 80 anos ou mais não podiam participar do processo de eleição de um papa.
Paulo VI escreveu em seu motu proprio Ingravescentem aetatem que “o bem maior da Igreja exige que consideremos o problema da velhice também em relação ao eminente ofício cardinalício, pelo qual demonstramos especial preocupação várias vezes no passado”.
O ofício de cardeal “é, de fato, um ofício com tarefas particularmente sérias e delicadas”, afirmou o Papa, “tanto por causa da conexão muito singular que o vincula à Nossa responsabilidade suprema ao serviço de toda a Igreja, como por causa de a alta responsabilidade que isso acarreta na vacância da Sé Apostólica em relação à Igreja universal ”.
Paulo VI declarou que depois de completar 80 anos, um cardeal perde o direito de eleger o Romano Pontífice e, portanto, o direito de participar do conclave.
Em 2021, seis cardeais da Igreja Católica perderão este privilégio: três da África, dois da Europa e um da Oceania. Quatro dos seis receberam o chapéu vermelho de São João Paulo II em seus dois últimos consistórios, em 2001 e 2003.
O primeiro cardeal a completar 80 anos no decorrer do ano – no dia 27 de fevereiro – será Gabriel Zubeir Wako, arcebispo emérito de Cartum. Ele foi nomeado cardeal pelo Papa João Paulo II em 2003.
Em 8 de março, o cardeal Wilfried Fox Napier, de Durban, perderá o direito de voto em um futuro conclave. Ele também foi nomeado cardeal por João Paulo II.
Também nomeado cardeal em 2003, o cardeal George Pell, ex-prefeito da Secretaria de Economia, fará 80 anos em 8 de junho.
Em 19 de julho, o cardeal Maurice Piat, de Port Louis, fará 80 anos. Ele recebeu o chapéu vermelho do Papa Francisco no consistório de novembro de 2016.
O cardeal Beniamino Stella, prefeito da Congregação para o Clero, fará 80 anos no dia 18 de agosto. Recebeu a bireta vermelha do primeiro consistório do Papa Francisco, realizado em fevereiro de 2014.
O último cardeal a completar 80 anos em 2021 será Angelo Scola, arcebispo emérito do Milan. São João Paulo II o fez cardeal no consistório de 2003, quando Scola era o patriarca de Veneza.
A divisão continental do Colégio Cardinalício é que 108 provêm da Europa, 54 dos quais são eleitores. Há 16 cardeais norte-americanos elegíveis para votar, de um total de 26. Há nove cardeais da América Central, dos quais sete são eleitores. A América do Sul tem 25 cardeais, 14 dos quais com direito a voto. A Ásia é representada por 27 cardeais, dos quais 16 têm menos de 80 anos. Há 28 cardeais africanos, 17 dos quais são eleitores. A Oceania tem quatro cardeais eleitores e dois não eleitores.
La question a été posée à maintes reprises sur l’éligibilité de certains cardinaux au prochain conclave papal qui pourrait avoir lieu bientôt si la nature continue de suivre son cours habituel. Les chercheurs de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, travaillent sur cette question depuis quelques mois. En ce premier mois de l’année 2021, le chercheur de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA a soudainement compris du CNA que l’actuel Collège des cardinaux est composé de 229 membres, dont 128 ont moins de 80 ans. 80 ans sont ceux qui ont le droit de voter pour le prochain pape lors d’un futur conclave.
À partir de cette recherche, RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA a conclu que c’était Saint Paul VI qui avait établi, le 20 novembre 1970, que les cardinaux âgés de 80 ans et plus ne pouvaient pas participer au processus d’élection d’un pape.
Paul VI a écrit dans son motu proprio Ingravescentem aetatem que «le bien supérieur de l’Église exige que nous considérions le problème de la vieillesse également en relation avec la fonction éminente des cardinaux, pour laquelle nous avons montré une préoccupation particulière à plusieurs reprises dans le passé.
La fonction de cardinal «est en effet une question de charge avec des tâches particulièrement sérieuses et délicates», a déclaré le pape, «à la fois à cause du lien très singulier qui la lie à Notre responsabilité suprême au service de toute l’Église, et à cause de la haute responsabilité qu’elle comporte dans la vacance du Siège apostolique à l’égard de l’Église universelle.
Paul VI a déclaré qu’après avoir atteint l’âge de 80 ans, un cardinal perd le droit d’élire le Pontife romain et, par conséquent, le droit de participer au conclave.
En 2021, six cardinaux de l’Église catholique perdront ce privilège: trois d’Afrique, deux d’Europe et un d’Océanie. Quatre des six ont reçu le chapeau rouge de Saint-Jean-Paul II dans ses deux derniers consistoires, en 2001 et 2003.
Le premier cardinal à avoir 80 ans dans le courant de l’année – le 27 février – sera Gabriel Zubeir Wako, archevêque émérite de Khartoum. Il a été nommé cardinal par saint Pape Jean-Paul II en 2003.
Le 8 mars, le cardinal Wilfried Fox Napier de Durban perdra le droit de vote lors d’un futur conclave. Il a également été fait cardinal par Jean-Paul II.
Également nommé cardinal en 2003, le cardinal George Pell, ancien préfet du Secrétariat à l’économie, aura 80 ans le 8 juin.
Le 19 juillet, le cardinal Maurice Piat de Port Louis fêtera ses 80 ans. Le pape François lui a remis le chapeau rouge au consistoire de novembre 2016.
Le cardinal Beniamino Stella, préfet de la Congrégation pour le clergé, atteindra 80 ans le 18 août. Il a reçu la biretta rouge du premier consistoire du pape François, qui s’est tenu en février 2014.
Le dernier cardinal à avoir 80 ans en 2021 sera Angelo Scola, archevêque émérite de Milan. Saint Jean-Paul II l’a fait cardinal au consistoire de 2003 lorsque Scola était le patriarche de Venise.
La répartition continentale du Collège des cardinaux est que 108 sont originaires d’Europe, dont 54 électeurs. Il y a 16 cardinaux nord-américains habilités à voter, sur un total de 26. Il y a neuf cardinaux d’Amérique centrale, dont sept sont des électeurs. L’Amérique du Sud compte 25 cardinaux, dont 14 ont le droit de vote. L’Asie est représentée par 27 cardinaux, dont 16 ont moins de 80 ans. Il y a 28 cardinaux africains, dont 17 sont électeurs. L’Océanie compte quatre électeurs cardinaux et deux non-électeurs.
The question has been posed over and over again about the eligibility of certain Cardinals for the next papal conclave which may take place soon if nature continues to run its usual course. The researchers of RECOWACERAO NEW AGENCY, RECONA have been working on this issue for the past few months. In this first month of the year 2021, the researcher of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA has suddenly gathered from CNA that the current College of Cardinals is composed of 229 members, 128 of whom are under the age of 80. Therefore, these few under the age of 80 are the ones that are eligible to vote for the next pope in a future conclave.
From this research, RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA gathered that it was St. Paul VI who established, on November 20, 1970, that cardinals aged 80 and over could not participate in the process of electing a pope.
Paul VI wrote in his motu proprio Ingravescentem aetatem that “the higher good of the Church demands that we consider the problem of old age also in relation to the eminent office of Cardinals, for which we have shown special concern several times in the past.”
The office of cardinal “is indeed a matter of an office with particularly serious and delicate tasks,” the pope stated, “both because of the very singular connection which binds it to Our supreme responsibility at the service of the whole Church, and because of the high responsibility it entails in the vacancy of the Apostolic See with respect to the universal Church.”
Paul VI declared that after reaching the age of 80, a cardinal loses the right to elect the Roman Pontiff and, therefore, the right to take part in the conclave.
In 2021, six cardinals of the Catholic Church will lose this privilege: three from Africa, two from Europe, and one from Oceania. Four of the six were given the red hat by St. John Paul II in his last two consistories, in 2001 and 2003.
The first cardinal to turn 80 years old in the course of the year — on Feb. 27 — will be Gabriel Zubeir Wako, archbishop emeritus of Khartoum. He was made cardinal by St. Pope John Paul II in 2003.
On March 8, Cardinal Wilfried Fox Napier of Durban, will lose the right to vote in a future conclave. He was also made a cardinal by John Paul II.
Also made a cardinal in 2003, Cardinal George Pell, former prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, will turn 80 on June 8.
On July 19, Cardinal Maurice Piat of Port Louis will have his 80th birthday. He was given the red hat by Pope Francis in the November 2016 consistory.
Cardinal Beniamino Stella, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, will reach age 80 on August 18. He received the red biretta from Pope Francis’ first consistory, held in February 2014.
The last cardinal to turn 80 in 2021 will be Angelo Scola, archbishop emeritus of Milan. St. John Paul II made him cardinal in the 2003 consistory when Scola was the patriarch of Venice.
The continental breakdown of the College of Cardinals is that 108 hail from Europe, 54 of whom are electors. There are 16 North American cardinals eligible to vote, out of a total of 26. There are nine cardinals from Central America, of whom seven are electors. South America has 25 cardinals, 14 of whom have voting rights. Asia is represented by 27 cardinals, of which 16 are under age 80. There are 28 African cardinals, 17 of whom are electors. Oceania has four cardinal electors and two non-electors.
