Another thread.

This time, it’s the Latin names of cardinal electors. I hope to have caught all of the errors and possible ambiguities.

Feel free to ask questions.

Let’s get the hard parts out of the way. And thanks to @Cindy_Wooden who did a list in 2013.

As you can see, there’s some ambiguity with Germanic names that have Latin doublets and whether two first names are compounds or not (I am not exactly consistent, sorry).

A few have multiple possibilities, such as Cardinal Roche.

Some suggest that asking if Pope Francis was anointed again at the hour of his death is useless speculation, implying that it is meant to injure.

It is true, as far as I can tell, that John Paul II (and BXVI as it happens) were anointed one last time in the days before… 1/ But the Holy See did announce when the pope (emeritus) had been anointed in the days leading to his death.

Am I missing something in the case of the late pontiff Francis?

What about the Apostolic Pardon? Communion?
