Protocol for a Cardinal Elect

Posted on 17 October 2007 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

My memory is a little fuzzy:

First, before a consistory but after the promulgation of the names of the new Cardinals

1) Do we call them "Your Eminence"?  I think so.

2) They could vote in a conclave even if, quod Deus avertat, the Pontiff who named them should die before the consistory.  I think so.
