	Dean of the College of Cardinals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dean of the College of Cardinals is the president of the College of Cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church and as such is always a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church of the episcopal order.
		It was for centuries customary for the longest-serving of the six cardinal bishops of suburbicarian dioceses to be Dean, and this was in fact required by canon law from 1917 until Pope Paul VI empowered the six bishops to elect him from among their number in 1965.
		According to section 4 of Canon 350, the Cardinal Dean has "the title of the diocese of Ostia, together with that of any other church to which he already has a title." The Cardinal Dean, then, continues to hold the title of his former suburbicarian diocese as well as being titular Bishop of Ostia.

	Pope Paul VI - Election of the Roman Pontiff - 1 October 1975
		A cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, once he is appointed in a consistory and his name is published, automatically has the right to vote for a pontiff, even though he has not yet received his biretta and has not been sent his cardinal's ring and has not yet taken the customary oath of fidelity.
		However, cardinals who have been canonically deposed or who have, with the consent of the Roman Pontiff, renounced the cardinalatial dignity do not have the right to vote; nor while the see is vacant may the Sacred College of Cardinals readmit such cardinals and restore this right to them.
		Immediately after this verification and before the cardinal electors leave the room, all the ballots are to be burned by the examiners with the help of the secretary of the conclave and the masters of ceremonies, whom the junior cardinal deacon has meanwhile summoned for the purpose.

	Camerlengo - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Camerlengo is usually a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church (and therefore also always a man of episcopal dignity), and is therefore also called the "Cardinal Chamberlain".
		The Chamberlain of the Sacred College of Cardinals is the secretary-treasurer of that body, and has responsibility for its financial matters.
		He administers all fees and revenues belonging to the College, celebrates the requiem Mass for a deceased cardinal, and is charged with the registry of the Acta Consistoralia.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Conclave
		Pius VI (who designated a Catholic country in which the majority of the cardinals happened to be) and Pius IX (who left the matter to the judgment of the Sacred College) allowed the widest liberty as to the place of the conclave.
		Immediately on the death of a pope the cardinal camerlengo who, as representative of the Sacred College, assumes charge of the papal household, verifies by a judicial act the death of the pontiff.
		All cardinals, and they alone, have the right to vote in the conclave; they must, however, be legitimately appointed, have the use of reason, and be present in person, not through a procurator or by letter.

	ELECTION OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF

		The dean or head of the College of Cardinals is the Bishop of Ostia; the sub-dean is the Bishop of Porto.
		As president of the college it is the duty of the dean to convoke the same, to conduct its deliberations, and to represent it abroad.

		Cardinals must meet at the Vatican between the 15th and 20th day after the pope's death where they will stay in special accommodation while the elections take place.

	Capitol Questions
		As part of the governing authority of the Roman Catholic Church, the Cardinals have the paramount responsibility of electing the Pope, and as the chief officials of the papal bureaucracy, have administrative responsibilities over all aspects of the business of the Church.
		Although the decisions of the Appropriations Committee must be affirmed by vote of the full House, re-examined by the Senate, and win the signature of the President to become law, the House appropriators initiate the process, frame the debate, and have great advantages in protecting their legislation and persuading their colleagues to support it.
		Both Colleges are held in awe, respect — and perhaps a certain degree of fear, by those who are dependent upon their goodwill and look to them for favor.

		During the prolonged stalemate, townspeople were so furious that they reduced the cardinals' food to near-starvation levels and took the roof off the building that housed the holy men, hoping the elements would drive them to a decision.
		According to Tobin's book, the resulting set of conclave rules required the College of Cardinals to gather either in the residence where the last pope had died or a suitable alternative.
		By 1870, with the papal process streamlined and rid of aviary input, the gathering of cardinals was officially held inside the walls of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel.
