Protopriest

Protopriest

Protopriest ("protoprete, primoprete") — in the College of Cardinals Cardinal-Priest first in the order of precedence. Traditionally this function is performed by the most senior Cardinal Priest according to date of his creation, but in the past several exceptions to this rule had occurred [For example, Cardinal Joseph Fesch, created cardinal in 1803, became "protoprete" in 1822 [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1803.htm#Fesch] , although at that time, five Cardinal Priests created in 1801 were still alive [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1801.htm] .] . From the end of sixteenth century until the end of nineteenth century Protopriest usually opted for the titulus "San Lorenzo in Lucina" [ [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/titles-3.htm#Lucina The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church: Title of S. Lorenzo in Lucina] . The last "protoprete" who opted for that title was Mieczysław Halka Ledóchowski in 1896.] . The current Protopriest is South Korean cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan [ [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios-k.htm#Kim Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan] ] .
