A cardinal was a senior official within the Catholic Church, second in rank only to the Pope.[1]
In his afterlife as a ghost, the Fat Friar, who was executed after senior members of the Church became suspicious of his conspicuous displays of magic, resented the fact he never attained this position during his life.[2]
