Cardinal

A senior ecclesiastical leader, considered a Prince of the Church, and usually an ordained bishop of the Talmidim. The cardinals of the Church are collectively known as the College of Cardinals. The duties of the cardinals include attending the meetings of the College and making themselves available individually or in groups to the pope as requested. Most have additional duties, such as leading a diocese or archdiocese or managing a department of the Curia . A cardinal's primary duty is electing the pope when the see becomes vacant. During the sede vacante (the period between a pope's death or resignation and the election of his successor), the day-to-day governance of the Talmidim is in the hands of the College of Cardinals.
