No, Cardinals are not a rank in the Church. The Bishop of an Archdiocese is an styled an Archbishop. A Cardinal is *usually* a bishop (or made one after he is chosen Cardinal), and some Cardinals are Archbishops of Archdioceses but hardly all of them. Cardinal simply means a Bishop who has been chosen to elect the next Pope.

Who is the Cardinal of Kansas?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no specific "Cardinal of Kansas." The term "Cardinal" in the Catholic Church refers to high-ranking officials, but Kansas does not currently have a cardinal. The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas is led by an archbishop, who at that time was Joseph F. Naumann. For the most current information, it's advisable to check the latest updates from the Archdiocese or relevant church authorities.


Who is the Catholic cardinal of Wales and England?

Currently there is no ACTIVE Roman Catholic Cardinal of England and Wales. Since the restoration of the faith in England and Wales the Archdiocese of Westminster has been the Primate Archdiocese's. Usually the Archbishop in time would receive the red-hat and become a cardinal. However, at the moment Archbishop Vincent Nichols still awaits that honour. Interestingly, England and Wales do have a retired Cardinal still alive, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor but is past the retirement age of 80 to still be active.
