"wishing to follow the command of the Lord made unto Moses, about the 70 men to-be-gathered from amongst the elders of Israel, whom he had known to be the people’s old men, and teachers, so that they might bear with him the burden of the people, and so that he himself would not be weighed down alone, and upon whom, having been led to the door of the Tabernacle, the Spirit rested, with the Lord …More
"wishing to follow the command of the Lord made unto Moses, about the 70 men to-be-gathered from amongst the elders of Israel, whom he had known to be the people’s old men, and teachers, so that they might bear with him the burden of the people, and so that he himself would not be weighed down alone, and upon whom, having been led to the door of the Tabernacle, the Spirit rested, with the Lord speaking: about the Council of our brother preachers, we perpetually establish, and ordain, that, into the hereafter, with anumbered all the Episcopal, sacerdotal, and diaconal Cardinals of whatsoever order, who now are, and to will be created in the future, that all together, shall, at no time ever exceed the number of 70, and such number shall not be increased for any pretext, occasion, or cause, even most urgent. That if it will have happened, that one (or more [than one]), by us, or by the Roman pontiff existing at that time in the future, either to be chosen or to be pronounced as a cardinal, we decree that an election, creation, and pronouncement of this type to be going to be null, bankrupt, and void, and to be thought to be, and that no right is acquired thus by the chosen one or ones, whether the title is in reality or in name [only], neither that anyone of them is to be held for a cardinal, or to be able for owing to be reputed [as a cardinal], nor that the stated election, creation, or pronouncement from the beginning to be invalid [valid?], and made beyond the number, if afterwards, with one or more cardinals dying, to the prescribed number, the same College may be returned, [and] on account of which things, retroactively to make good, but as from the beginning, thus from then onward perpetually it [the decree] to be of no assistance or importance."
From the time of this Infallible Constitution to the time of John XXIII no Pontiff exceeded the specified number of 70 Cardinals.

New cardinal Archbishop Christophe Pierre, nuncio to the US. About five years ago the local Little Sisters of the Poor, where my wife worked, asked me to play the organ for a Mass at their house to be celebrated by this French archbishop. The Little Sisters' choice in church music is questionable, but they are so good that I couldn't say, no. Archbishop Pierre grew up in the part of France where …More
New cardinal Archbishop Christophe Pierre, nuncio to the US. About five years ago the local Little Sisters of the Poor, where my wife worked, asked me to play the organ for a Mass at their house to be celebrated by this French archbishop. The Little Sisters' choice in church music is questionable, but they are so good that I couldn't say, no. Archbishop Pierre grew up in the part of France where the Little Sisters started, so he had a connection to them. After the Mass my wife and I greeted him, and typically smart-mouthed, I said, "Archbishop, you are the second French archbishop whose Mass I have attended. The first was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre." He said, "There is a continuity," but he was probably thinking, "My gosh, these crazies are everywhere!" I hope he couldn't sleep that night.

Not that anything Bergoglio does means anything to a Catholic, but, the fact that Tucho is listed below the Prefect of Clergy is of minor interest. I remember that it was remarked upon when Ladaria (maybe Müller?) was named that he was below Parolin in precedence, which had not been the case earlier. Now the prefect of the “ddf” is even lower than clergy. It’s appropriate, I suppose, for hard …More
