Or is it possible that a JP2-created Cardinal could go against his mentor?
What is realistic for "against"? I admit, I don't pay much attention, and couldn't tell you the impact of one pope as distinguished from another.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

JP2 is staunch on, among other things, priestly celibacy, disapproval of contraception, and Mary as co-Redemptrix with Jesus.

In my naivete, the first two are things I just thought of as Papal.
Interesting.

Okay. As of 2001, JP 2 had appointed 125 of the 135 cardinals who were then eligible to vote. Because you have to be under 80 to vote, some of the remaining 10 may have aged out since then.

ita, I'm not clear on the theology, but I *think* it is possible for one Pope to reverse encyclicals put out by a previous Pope. Humanae Vitae (the anti-contraception one) wasn't officially promulgated as being infallible, so another Pope could in theory reverse it. Don't hold your breath.

That way lies breathing crisis?
Yup. But probably without the CNN headlines.

I was Googling and I found this, which tickled me.
As for the 475 cardinals created in the 19th century, the longest lived seems to have been the French Jean Baptiste de Belloy-Morangle, who was also the inventor of the filter for the coffee machine, and who died in June 1808 at 98 years and eight months, having been nominated Archbishop of Paris in 1802, when already over ninety, and made a cardinal the following year by Pius VII.
He's a Cardinal and a barista!
