Pope Benedict XVI with Cardinal Camillo Ruini, 2006
Pope Benedict XVI (r. 2005–2013) created 90 cardinals in five consistories. With three of those consistories he respected the limit on the number of cardinal electors set at 120 in 1973, though sometimes exceeded by his predecessors.[a] He exceeded that limit at the other two consistories, reaching as high as 125 in 2012.
With the consistory of February 2012, a majority of the cardinal electors had been named cardinals by him, 63 of 125.[7] After his last consistory in November 2012, he had appointed 67 of the 120 electors.[8]
