    There are currently 252 Catholic cardinals, but only 135 are eligible to cast ballots as those over the age of 80 can take part in debate but cannot vote.

    You’re telling me the Catholic church has more term limits than the US Supreme Court?

      Weirdly enough, they might even be less corrupt too.
