	Cardinal Electors at 112 after Cardinal Law of Boston Turns 80 Rome Reports November 4, 2011 http://www.romereports.com/palio/cardinal-electors-at-112-after-cardinal-law-of-boston-turns-80-english-5320.html [with video] November 3, 2011. (Romereports.com) Cardinal Bernard Francis Law of Boston turns 80 on November 4. The passing of his birthday marks a turning point because he loses his voting power in the event of a papal conclave. The number of elector cardinals then drops to 112. Cardinal Law will then join the 80 other non-voting cardinals. Cardinal Law has served as the Archpriest of Rome's Basilica of Saint Mary Major since 2004. In 1985 Pope John Paul II made him a cardinal. In 2005 he participated in the conclave that elected Joseph Ratzinger as pope.
