On Friday, 14 March 2014, Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, Cardinal Priest of Ss. Ambrogio e Carlo, the Metropolitan Archbishop Emeritus of Milan (Italy), turned 80, and therefore, according to the rules written in the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, he lost his right to vote in any future conclave.
Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi was made Cardinal-Priest of Ss. Ambrogio e Carlo by Pope John Paul II in the 1998 Consistory of Cardinals on 21 February 1998, the seventh Consistory of his pontificate. Cardinal Tettamanzi was made a Cardinal in honour of his position as the Metropolitan Archbishop of Genova (Genoa), which he held since 1995 to 2002 before he was transferred to Milan, and which encompasses the city of Milan and the province of Lombardia, the most important diocese in the world. He held that title until 2011 and was once a Papabile at the 2005 Papal conclave.

May God bless His Eminence Cardinal Tettamanzi, with a blessed old age and health. May he remain strong in the faith and hopefully can perhaps still continue to work great graces and good works of love and peace even after he has been retired to the people in the Archdiocese of Milan and Italy, as he continued to minister to the people of God.
The College of Cardinals now stands at 217 members in total, with 119 Cardinal-electors and 98 Cardinal non-electors. There are now a vacancy of 1 Cardinal-elector as compared to the maximum number of electors allowed in the Conclave of 120.
Next Cardinal-elector to age out (80) will be Cardinal Francesco Monterisi, the Archpriest Emeritus of the Papal Basilica of St. Paul Outside-the-Walls (Italy), on 28 May 2014.
