 | | In 1994, Pope John Paul II named him Cardinal Bishop of the suburbicarian see of Albano, and on November 30, 2002, exactly twenty-five years after he was first appointed a bishop, he was elected vice-dean of the College of Cardinals in succession to Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Dean. |
 | | In 1988, he was appointed titular Bishop of Turuzi and Auxiliary of Ayacucho, and was promoted to Archbishop of Ayacucho in 1995; his tenure was quite controversial due to his support of military action during the Shining Path terrorist campaign and his referring to human rights with extremely rude words, dismissing their importance. |
 | | On 21 December 1977 Murphy-O’Connor was ordained Bishop of the diocese of Arundel and Brighton. |
