I have not been following Sandro Magister's www.chiesa in the past week, but here is a great service he has provided,in an unsigned article on his site, that should prove to be an invaluable quick reference.
Who's who among
the cardinal electors
VATICAN CITY, March 5, 2013 – Subtracting the two who will not take part in the Conclave for different reasons - Keith Michael Patrick O'Brien of Scotland (personal scandal) and the Jesuit Archbishop of Jakarta (indonesia) Julius Darmaatmadja (health reasons) - 115 cardinals will enter the Sistine Chapel to elect the successor to Benedict XVI some time in the next week or two.
They are listed here by continent and by nation, with the place of activity of each one, the abbreviation of their religious order if they belong to one, the date of birth and the Pope who made them cardinal (JP-II for John Paul II, B-XVI for Benedict XVI). The listing is followed by further documentation of their roles and backgrounds.

Cardinals who are older than 80 are able to participate in the general congregations that precede the Conclave, but not in the Conclave itself.
At the beginning of the sede vacante there were 90 of them - 52 Europeans (21 Italians), 11 Latin Americans (4 Brazilians), 8 North Americans (all from the United States), 9 Asians, 7 Africans, and 3 from Oceania.
Eligible to vote in the Conclave is German Cardinal Walter Kasper, who turned 80 on March 4, during the sede vacante. Under the 1996 rules set down by John Paul II, those who reach the statutory age during the sede vacante are sqill qualified to vote.
There are 20 cardinals belonging to religious orders who will participate in the conclave, and 15 are non-electors,
Four are Salesians (Amato, Bertone, Farina, and Rodriguez Maradiaga); 3 are Franciscan friars minor (Amigo Vallejo, Hummes, Napier); two are Dominicans (Schonborn and Duka). Other orders represented have one cardinal each: Jesuits (Bergoglio), Vincentians (Rodé), Redemptorists (Terrazas), Capuchins (O'Malley), Oblates (George), Sulpicians (Ouellet), Schönstatt (Errazuriz Ossa), and the Maronite Mariamites (Rai).
The cardinal electors also include cardinals prominently associated with the post-Vatican II lay movements: a member of Opus Dei (Cipriani Thorne), a historic representative of Comunione e Liberazione (Scola), and at least two friends of the Focolare movement (Antonelli and Braz de Aviz). Strongly sympathetic toward the Neocatecumenals are Filoni, Cordes, and Cañizares, while Dias is close to the charismatic movement.
Forty cardinal electors are working or have worked in the Roman Curia and other Vatican offices.
Nineteen of them are Italian, with 11 currently heads of dicasteries (Amato, Bertello, Bertone, Calcagno, Coccopalmerio, Comastri, Filoni, Nicora, Piacenza, Ravasi, Sardi, Vegliò, and Versaldi) and 6 are retired (Antonelli, De Paolis, Farina, Lajolo, Monterisi, Re).
[What happened to Cordero de Montezemolo, former Arch-Priest of St Paul???]
Curial cardinals from the United States are 4 (3 of them active - Burke, Harvey, and O’Brien - and the retired Levada); Spain has 2 T(Cañizares, Abril Castelló)' Poland has 2 (Grocholewski and Rylko), all of them active. There are also 2 Germans, but both of them retired (Cordes and Kasper).
Curial cardinals from Latin America are Sandri of Argentina, Braz de Aviz of Brazil, both of whom are active, while another Brazilian, Hummes, is retired.
European but non-Italian Curial cardinals are Tauran of France, Monteiro of Portugal, and Koch of Switzerland, all active; and Rode of Slovenia, retired.
There are two Africans in the Curia, Turkson of Ghana and Sarah of Guinea.
Ouellet of Canada is the only active North American member of the curia. Dias of India retired last year.
Of the 40 cardinals with Curial credentials, half also have pastoral experience as bishops or archbishops: Antonelli, Bertone, Calcagno, Coccopalmerio, Comastri, Nicora, Versaldi, Kasper, Rodé, Canizares Llovera, Koch, Hummes, Braz de Aviz, Burke, Levada, O’Brien, Ouellet, Dias, Turkson, and Sarah.
Cardinals who previously served at the Vatican who now head a diocese or previously headed a diocese are Sepe, Vallini, Dziwisz, Backis, Agnelo, Hummes, Errazuriz Ossa, Rigali, and Patabendige Don.
Scherer, Wuerl and DiNardo also worked in the curia before their pastoral appointments as officials, not as dicasteery heads.
Finally, 16 cardinal electors come from pontifical diplomacy (former nuncios): Bertello, Filoni, Lajolo, Monterisi, Re, Romeo, Sepe, Vegliò, Tauran, Abril y Castelló, Monteiro de Castro, Backis, Sandri, Harvey, Rigali, Dias.
Cardinal Sardi, though not a product of the Pontifical Academy that trains Vatican diplomats, acquired the honorific of apostolic nuncio when he was named archbishop by John Paul II when he became head of the office of pontifical 'ghost writers' in the Secretariat of State.
For those who want to play the Papa-Lotto, Magister goes out on a limb in a signed article today touting Cardinal Dolan of New York as the most likely Pope-to-be, and claiming that the candidate of the Curia is Brazil's Cardinal Scherer whom, he says, they think, will be pliable to their will (but how demeaning to Scherer!) . More strangely, Magister all but dismisses the candidacies of Cardinals Scola and Ouellet... Well, Vaticanistas have never made good papal oracles at all. In a conclave where no one comes in with any sizable perceived lead, the dynamics of what happens after the initial balloting that may have dozens of names in play are hardly predictable to anyone.
John Allen leads off his post today by reiterating Magister's 'crystal ball' perceptions, and adds the following information that sort of punctures one of the media obsessions in this sede vacante period - the meme that the cardinal electors are as obsessed as they are with Vatileaks:
...This afternoon, one of the cardinal electors taking part in the General Congregation meetings spoke to NCR on background, given the informal agreement the cardinals have reached not to give interviews.
This cardinal made two points:
- Contrary to what's been reported by some media outlets, there is no strong push among the cardinals to be shown the secret report given to Benedict XVI by three over-80 cardinals on the Vatileaks affair.
- Cardinals are taking the leaks scandal "very seriously," he said, but most believe they have adequate information from the authors of the report, who are taking part in the General Congregation meetings. He said there is no "battle royale" over Vatileaks within the General Congregation and voiced suspicion that some of the media reports are intended to put "pressure" on the conclave. [Actually, this undue emphasis on Vatileaks was articulated bluntly by Cardinal Sean O'Malley before the US cardinals 'agreed' to respect the pre-Conclave rule on discretion.]
In general, the fallout from the Vatileaks affair seems to have strengthened the conviction among many cardinals that governance is a key issue heading into this vote and that the next Pope has to be someone with the "strength" to push through a serious reform of the Vatican bureaucracy. {I think it is more a secular prurience about anything labelled scandal by the media that is motivating those cardinals who are eager to see the motes in the Curia but not the beams in their own bureaucracies - and more importantly, they have completely ignored Benedict XVI's repeated admonitions that structural reforms are futile unless there is internal conversion and purification first among the persons who make up that structure, even citing Mother Teresa who, when asked what the most important changes in the Church should be, simply said "You and I". ]
