Pope Benedict XVI (r. 2005–2013) created 90 cardinals in five consistories. With three of those consistories he respected the limit on the number of cardinal electors set (but temporarally exceeded) by his predecessors at 120.^[a] He exceeded that limit at the other two consistories, reaching as high as 125 in 2012.

With the consistory of February 2012, a majority of the cardinal electors had been named cardinals by him, 63 of 125.

Cardinal electors

Benedict's first, second and last consistories brought the number of cardinal electors to 120.

The 2010 consistory produced 121 electors, until Cardinal Bernard Panafieu turned 80 two months later on 26 January 2011. After the consistory of February 2012, there were 125 electors, and the count returned to 120 on 26 July after the 80th birthdays of Cardinals Rodolfo Quezada Toruño, Edward Michael Egan, Miloslav Vlk, Henri Schwery, and James Francis Stafford.

24 March 2006

Pope Benedict XVI created new cardinals for the first time on 24 March 2006. He announced the names of fifteen new cardinals from eleven different countries on 22 February.^[7]^[8] Three belonged to the Roman Curia, nine headed a diocese, and two were bishops emeritus. One, Albert Vanhoye, was a Jesuit priest and theologian, not a bishop. Twelve of the fifteen were under 80 years old and eligible to vote in a papal conclave. With these new cardinals, Benedict limited the number of cardinal electors to 120, the maximum set by statute since 1973^[1] and which John Paul II had at times exceeded. The appointments brought the total number of cardinals to 193.^[b]

24 November 2012

On 24 October 2012, during a meeting of the Synod of Bishops, Benedict announced he would create six cardinals at a consistory on 24 November. At the time, there were 116 cardinal electors, with two set to turn 80 in the next month. The six new cardinals would bring that number to 120.^[16] The November consistory brought the total number of cardinals to 211.^[e] Those named contrasted with those of the previous consistory, who had been criticized as "too Italian and too curial". Benedict said that "this little consistory" was meant to "complete" the earlier one "with a gesture of the universality of the Church".^[17]^[18]

Notes

^ Pope Paul set the maximum at 120 in 1973,^[1] after having raised the number to 134 in 1969.^[2] Pope John Paul II confirmed the 120 limit in 1996,^[3]^[4] though he twice raised the number of cardinal electors to 135, in February 2001^[5] and again in October 2003.^[6]
^ 183 cardinals at 2005 conclave minus 1 cardinal elected pope (Ratzinger) minus 4 cardinals who died before the 2006 consistory (Sin, Caprio, Scheffczyk, Taofinuʻu) plus 15 newly-appointed cardinals.
^ At the time of consistory announcement (17 October 2007), there were 121 cardinal electors and 202 cardinals in total including those to be appointed. However, the death of cardinal Stephen Fumio Hamao on 8 November 2007 reduced those numbers to 120 and 201 respectively before the consistory.
^ 203 cardinals at 2010 consistory minus 12 cardinals who died before the consistory of February 2012 (Navarrete Cortés, Giordano, Vithayathil, Saldarini, García-Gasco Vicente, Sterzinsky, Świątek, Noè, Ambrozic, Deskur, Foley, Bevilacqua) plus 22 newly-appointed cardinals.
^ 213 cardinals at the previous consistory minus 8 cardinals who died before the consistory of November 2012 (Sánchez, Daoud, Aponte Martinez, Quezada Toruño, Sales, Shan Kuo-hsi, Martini, Baldelli) plus 6 newly-appointed cardinals.
