CARDINALS-US Oct-17-2007 (300 words) xxxi
After consistory, U.S. will have 17 of world's 202 cardinals
By Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- After the Nov. 24 consistory for the creation of new cardinals, 17 of the 202 members of the College of Cardinals will be from the United States.
Pope Benedict XVI expanded the U.S. contingent in the college Oct. 17 when he announced he would give the red hat to Archbishop John P. Foley, pro-grand master of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher, and Archbishop Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston.
After the consistory, the U.S. contingent will be second in size only to the Italians. Of the 17 U.S. cardinals, 13 will be under age 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave to elect a new pope.
The U.S. cardinals under age 80 will be:
-- Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston.
-- Edward M. Egan of New York.
-- John P. Foley, grand master of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher.
-- Francis E. George of Chicago.
-- William H. Keeler, retired archbishop of Baltimore.
-- Bernard F. Law, archpriest of Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major and retired archbishop of Boston.
-- William J. Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
-- Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles.
-- Adam J. Maida of Detroit.
-- Theodore E. McCarrick, retired archbishop of Washington.
-- Sean P. O'Malley of Boston.
-- Justin Rigali of Philadelphia.
-- J. Francis Stafford, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary and former archbishop of Denver.
The four U.S. cardinals over age 80 are:
-- William W. Baum, former archbishop of Washington and former head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican court.
-- Anthony J. Bevilacqua, retired archbishop of Philadelphia.
-- Avery Dulles, a Jesuit theologian.
-- Edmund C. Szoka, former president of the commission that governs Vatican City State and former archbishop of Detroit.
