Bishop is the rank below pope and includes archbishops. Cardinals are not an integral part of the hierarchy and, to be named a cardinal, one need only be a priest. However, before 1917, a cardinal need not be even a priest. Pope John XXIII made it a rule that all cardinals must be named a bishop if they become a cardinal but the person can request an exemption to the rule. However, if a cardinal is not a bishop he cannot be elevated to pope until he has been consecrated a bishop.
