'''Cardinal Leonardo Sandri''', born {{Birth date and age|1943|11|18}}, is an Argentine prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, serving as Vice-Dean of the College of Cardinals since 2020, with his term extended in January 2025. Ordained a priest in 1967 for the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires, Sandri’s career spans Vatican diplomatic service in Madagascar, the United States, and Venezuela, and key curial roles, including Substitute of the Secretariat of State (1999–2007). Elevated to cardinal in 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI, he was Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches (2007–2022), bolstering Eastern Catholic communities. His role is critical as the Church prepares for a conclave following Pope Francis’ death on April 21, 2025.
