His Eminent Beatitude

Cardinal, Major Archbishop Emeritus of Kiev-Galicia
Lubomyr Husar MSU (
Ukrainian: Любомир Гузар,
Liubomyr Huzar; born 26 February 1933) is the
major archbishop emeritus of the
Ukrainian Catholic Church, a minority church in
Ukraine but the largest
sui juris Eastern church in
full communion with the
Holy See. He is also a
Cardinal of the Catholic Church.
...
Cardinal Husar was one of the three Eastern Catholics to
participate in the
papal conclave, 2005, the others being
Ignace Daoud of the
Syrian Catholic Church and
Varkey Vithayathil of the
Syro-Malabar Church. (
Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir and
Stéphanos II Ghattas of the
Maronite Church and
Coptic Catholic Church respectively were both over 80 and therefore could not take part.) At that
papal conclave, he was one of the cardinals considered
papabile, something unusual for an
Eastern Catholic...
...
On 26 February 2013, 2 days before the announced resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Husar turned 80 and lost his right to participate in a conclave.
