 Limit cardinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the cardinal successor operation defined, we can define a limit cardinal in analogy to that for limit ordinals: λ is a (weak) limit cardinal if λ is not a successor cardinal, i.e.
Despite the similarity in terminology and concept with limit ordinal, being a limit cardinal is a much stronger condition, because the cardinal successor operation is much more powerful, in the infinite case, than the ordinal successor operation (so we're not just defining something synonymous).
is a successor cardinal if and only if α is a successor ordinal, hence also a limit cardinal if and only if α is a limit ordinal.

 Successor cardinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the theory of cardinal numbers, we can define a successor operation similar to that in the ordinal numbers.
In the infinite case, the successor operation skips over many ordinal numbers; in fact, every infinite cardinal is a limit ordinal.
Therefore, the successor operation on cardinals gains a lot of power in the infinite case (relative the ordinal successorship operation), and consequently the cardinal numbers are a very "sparse" subclass of the ordinals.

 Cardinal O'Connor, 80, Dies; Forceful Voice for Vatican   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Cardinal O'Connor came to New York in 1984 in a glare of publicity and a flurry of controversy, a relatively unknown Roman Catholic bishop from Pennsylvania who was suddenly catapulted into the church's most visible post in the United States.
By contrast, Cardinal O'Connor's willingness to joust with public officials and project the church into public debates recalled the years from 1939 to 1967, when the archdiocesan headquarters of Cardinal Francis Spellman was known as the Powerhouse for the leverage the church wielded in city affairs.
And if Cardinal O'Connor could sometimes still affect city policies with a few phone calls to some politicians, in Cardinal Spellman's day, or so it was widely believed, the calls would have been initiated by the politicians themselves, who were careful to check their plans with the Powerhouse.

 Boston.com / News / World / Europe / Politics, challenges to church to guide choice of successor
Over these next two weeks, the cardinals will have a chance to size one another up, meeting daily as the College of Cardinals assumes collective oversight of the global church and the Vatican bureaucracy during this interregnum.
Scholars who study papal transitions say history suggests that the cardinals will probably look for an older man as the next pope -- probably someone between 65 and 75 years old -- in order to increase the odds that the next papacy will be relatively short after the 26-year papacy of John Paul II.
That is because during a long papacy, power tends to concentrate in Rome; a short papacy would allow power to devolve back to the local church and would function as a kind of transition period.
