While this could be an interesting page there is definately something wrong with it. Especially in the "Coincidences and other non-familial connections" section which actually makes no sense whatsover. The links are messed up and the statement "John Paul II died shortly after one of the Antipopes" is false.

As I said it could be an interesting article if expanded but I think something needs to happen to it now.

I was making a reference to Clemente Domínguez y Gómez - put did not have time to look him up when I put the piece on Wikipedia, but have corrected it now. I hope this answers the above question.

I think the division into family and non-family connections should be maintained

If anyone wishes to construct a table of which Pope elevated to the Cardinalate someone who became a future Pope, they can do so.

A case of "lack of knowledge on the subject" on my part.

Last line start of creating the cardinal list - others welcome to add.
