MAIL TRIBUNE, MeoW, Or. Thunday, Dec 10, 19S9 Greatest Number Of Cardinals in History Near Editor note: Thll Is the second of two dispatches on the new car dinals of the Roman Catholic Church. Br DANIEL F. GILMORE Rome (LTD The appoint ment of eight new "princes" of the Roman Catholic Church by Pope John will bring the number of cardinals to 79, the greatest number in the history of the College of Cardinals. With a world population of more than half a billion, new archdioceses and entire coun tries are without cardinal rep resentation even counting the increases the Pope has made. These include the ' Philip pines, the Netherlands and most of the continent of Af ricawhere the only cardinal , representative is Teodosio Cle mente De Gouvei, a Portu guese with his see at Lourenco Marques, Mozambique. In four days of ceremonies Dec. 14-17, the new cardinals, including two Americans, will receive the blessing of the Pope, the scarlet hat and golden ring of their offices and prostrate themselves on the floor of St. Peter's cathe dral in an act of humility. Special Document Pope John may have to is sue a special document, called a "Papal Bull," to legalize has unique move. The "Papal Bull" is the most solemn form of a papal letter. It would be required to abrogate the prev ious bull issues by Pope Six tug V in 1958 fixing the num ber of cardinals at 70. According to legend, tiie number was fixed to coincide with the number of advisers to Moses. The pontiff exceeded this number last year when he broke precedent and nomina ted 23 new cardinals and brought the strength for the first time up to 75. But in the year that follow ed, four cardinals died, reduc ing the college to 71 mem bers. Church sources said it was not likely that the Pope would formalize his precedent-setting appointments and perhaps leave the door open to further increases in the fu ture. Appointed Tot Life Cardinals are appointed for life. They are aides and advis ers to the pope and in a sense they form the "senate" of the Roman Catholic Church. Only a pope can create a cardinal and only the College of Cardinals can create a pope. The word cardinal comes from the Latin word "cardo," meaning "hinge." In the early days of i the church, every cathedral was designated , a "cardo". and was the see of Hie bishop. But even some priests assigned to the cathe drals were referred to as car dinals. The cardinals alone address the pope" as "Brother"; all others as "Your Eminence." . The cardinals hold key arch bishoprics throughout the world, or are resident in Rome as part of the Church's vast administrative machinery. During the last three pon tificates, the internationaliza tion of the College of Cardi nals has progressed steadily. It now has 48 non-Italians.
