With what WAS the invaluable ‘Salvador Miranda’ ‘Cardinals Website’ now MAJORLY out-of-date, I had to do something in order to stay abreast with where we stood with the Cardinal Electors. [Salvador LAST UPDATED his website (ALAS) on May 8, 2023.]
I have had this Excel for over a decade — but I have NOT been diligent about keeping it updated. I could always rely on (my dear friend) Salvador to provide me with the data.
NOT SO, now.
So, over the last few days I updated the Excel. It appears to add up. I have numerous checks to make sure that it all adds up. BUT, PLEASE CHECK.
NOW the ONLY RELIABLE website for BASIC cardinal demographics is ‘Catholic Hierarchy‘. It tends to be very up-to-date, but the data is LIMITED. Please do NOT trust any other sites — at least at present. Got that.
The observant among you will have noticed that I have an OFFSET feature. That means I can ADVANCE the date — 30-days, 45-days … whatever FORWARD. That way I can see what the demographics look like going forward. SMILE. The joys of having TWO degrees in Computer Technology!
