    Cardinal Baum celebrates his 80th - another consistory due?

    Rocco has an post today on the American Cardinal Baum reaching his 80th birthday - and retiring from the list of papal electors eligible to elect a new pontiff.

    Might we expect another consistory of cardinals sometime around early summer? Rocco says:
    "Baum's superannuation leaves the number of voting cardinals at 115. Given Benedict XVI's keenness to keep the number at the Pauline limit of 120, and to keep the full complement regularly topped off, look for a consistory sometime in the late spring or early summer, by which time the number of cardinal-electors will fall to 107, just on account of more princes of the church hitting the big 8-0."
    Update: CWNews adds more.
