CWN Editor's Note: The new edition of the Vatican yearbook, the Annuario Pontificio, has subtracted a year from the listed age of Cardinal John Njue, the retired Archbishop of Nairobi.
Because his birth records are unavailable, Cardinal Njue had been listed as being born simply in “1944.” That date has now been corrected to January 1, 1946.
The change has important implications for Cardinal Njue, who would have become ineligible to vote in a papal election or sit on a Vatican dicastery upon reaching his 80th birthday—which had previously been set at December 31 of this year.
