Excerpt from The Story of the English Cardinals The clergy of the highest position in the Roman Church are called 'Cardinals,' because they are nearest in position to that hinge (cardo) by which the whole Church depends and by which it is moved - i.e., the Pope. In the early Middle Ages the office of Cardinal was very different from what it afterwards became. The red hat, with its magnificent tassels, did not appear till 1245, when it was granted by Innocent IV. The purple cloak was assigned to the Cardinals in 1464 by Paul II., but they did not receive the title of 'Eminence' until it was conferred upon them by Urban VIII., in 1630. In the earlier days they were not 'Princes of the Church,' but simply the principal clergy of Rome, who acted as counsellors to the Bishop or Pope, and who from the time of Nicholas Ii.(1058-1061) had the exclusive privilege of electing the Pope.
