No, not even close. The rank of "cardinal" is a jurisdictional and authoritative title given usually to bishops who show great knowledge and piety in the administration of the Church. The number of cardinals can be tallied according to the total number or the voting number, as only cardinals under the age of 80 may vote to elect a new pope. John Paul II rose the active voting number to 120, 117 of which were alive to vote for the election of Benedict XVI. There are a number of retired cardinals as well, and these bring the total number around 180.
