(i.e. eligible to the pontificate of Rome). According to the regulations of Stephen III, made in 769, only the cardinals are eligible, but according to established custom, any one is papabilis who is capable of elevation to the episcopate. In a more restricted sense, it admits only those cardinals who are in papal interests and free from all foreign political influence. (See POPE).
