Never underestimate a clergyman's capacity to disappoint.

 

 

I place my trust in God, not men. But I my best to love all things.

If memory serves there's only been only layperson to ever be elevated to Cardinal, and he was first ordained. Female cardinals would be a novelty and a clear break with Church tradition.

There have been several cardinals who did not recieve the sacrament of holy orders, but they had received minor rights or at least first tonsure and were clerics, but not ordained. I was mistaken in saying they didn't have to be clergy, they just didn't have to be ordained clergy.
