Cardinals, sometimes called 'Princes of the Church,' are usually bishops or archbishops who have been granted an elevated status by the pope. They are responsible for electing a new pope after the death of a reigning pontiff. Most cardinals have additional duties, such as leading a diocese or archdiocese or running a department of the Roman Curia.
