Pope Paul VI

Footnotes

• {{Note|cardinal}} In theory any male Catholic, irrespective of his ordination, is eligible for election to the papacy by the College of Cardinals, so technically Archbishop Montini could still have become pope. In fact, at the 1958 election, Montini did receive a couple of votes. But the cardinals in modern times invariably elect a fellow cardinal to the post.
