Abu Daoud's brain manages to dredge up on a regular basis obscure theological and historical questions. Special thanks to the irrepressible Taylor Marshall (former Anglican, now with Rome, am I the only one not doing this?!) over at Canterbury Tales.
My question: can there be lay cardinals or cardinal deacons in the Catholic Church?
His answer is HERE.
Thanks Taylor. Let me know if you have questions on Islam or Arabic :-)

Without reading his answer, my response would be:
Of course!
Why not? There is no inherent theological problem since the Cardinalature is a human invention.
There is no canonical problem because whatever canon law says, the Supreme Legislator--Peter--can do as he wishes...
Now let's see what Taylor says.
