However, in the ceremonies of Sede Vacante, after the death of Pope John Paul II, the title protoprete ( Cardinal Protopresbyter ) to which Cardinal Kim Soo Hwan was entitled had the Brazilian Cardinal Eugenieu de Araujo Saleş , also the Cardinal from 1969 , whom Kim Soo Hwan was younger as Cardinal but older as a priest and as a bishop ; Kim Soo-hwan was relieved of certain ceremonial duties of service.
