The pope presided over a fourth consistory for the elevation of 5 new cardinals on the afternoon of 28 June 2017. Each of the 5 have been beneath the age of eighty, and had been as a result suitable to vote in a papal conclave. Benedict XVI also attended the next consistory on fourteen February 2015, at which Francis elevated 20 new cardinals, with 15 less than the age of eighty and five more than the age of eighty.
