While technically any baptized Catholic man could be elected, in practice, only cardinals have been elected since the 15th century. Here's why: Papal election requirements: . The Papal Conclave, where cardinals elect the Pope, must choose a candidate who is a baptized Catholic male. Canon law: . The Sacred Canons state that the candidate must be of the male sex, a baptized Catholic, and capable of accepting the election. Cardinal election: . Since the 15th century, only cardinals have been elected Pope. Ordination: . The Pope must be a bishop, an ordained member of the Church, and only cardinals are bishops. [/quote]
