Cardinal Promotions

Several Cardinals were elevated from Cardinal-Deacon to Cardinal-Priest while retaining the same Cardinal Title, namely:

1. Lorenzo Cardinal Antonetti
   
2. Darío Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos
   
3. Giovanni Cardinal Cheli
   
4. Jorge Arturo Augustin Cardinal Medina Estévez
   

In addition James Francis Cardinal Stafford was elevated to Cardinal-Priest and given the title of S. Pietro in Montorio.

Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos had been the most senior Cardinal-Deacon. Agostino Cardinal Cacciavillan now holds that distinction.
