Few cardinals become pope. However, cardinals, at least those younger than 80, do elect a new pope. Most cardinals are archbishops and have the responsibilities of any archbishop. Some have special assignments from the pope such as being Papal Nuncios, members of the curia, running the various offices and congregations in the Vatican.
