Editor’s Note: Previous to these nominations, the list of Cardinals eligible to vote in the next Conclave was as found here: http://catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/scardc1.html — That list should be updated in about a week.
The consoling thought about the College of Cardinals, is that 95% of those still eligible to vote for the next Pope were born before Vatican II. An amazing untold fact, which will undoubtedly be the cause of a big surprise in the next Conclave.

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

Just when it appears all is lost…an oasis in the desert .
I am curious about something, he has appointed an awful lot of new cardinals over the years, doesn’t one have to either die or resign in order for a new one to be appointed or can he just add as many as he wants?
A pope cam add as many as he wants, and he seems so eager about it, that I suspect someone is paying for each nomination, that is, the different cliques in the Church are each trying to buy as many as they can.
