Cardinal Gregorio Rosa Chávez turns 80 and is therefore no longer a member of the group of cardinals who can elect a new Pope in a future conclave.
Pope Francis created him and 4 others cardinals in the consistory of June 28, 2017.
CARD. GREGORIO ROSA CHÁVEZ
Auxiliary Bishop of San Salvador
I know what it means to be close to the Holy Father, to collaborate with him with total fidelity—that is what I ask of God, that I may be able to live up to what He expects of me and be at the service of the people whom we have always served to the best of our ability.
The total number of cardinals remains at 226 while the number of electors drops to 131.
