There are 252 cardinals worldwide, and as a body, they are in charge of the Holy See’s affairs in-between popes, albeit with limits.

Of them, 135 are “cardinal electors,” who gather in the Vatican to choose the new pope.

The dean of the College of Cardinals is the head of the cardinals who informs the rest of cardinals and the ambassadors to Holy See of the death.

The vast majority of the electors — 108 — were made cardinals by Pope Francis .

These are the words used by the “protodeacon’ of the College of Cardinals to announce from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica that a new pope has been elected.

The current protodeacon is French Cardinal Dominique Mamberti .

The motto miserando atque eligendo’ means “having had mercy and choosing him”.
