Two Laymen Have Served as Popes in History
The canon law does not require a pope to be a cardinal or cleric. Since Urban VI in 1378 elected popes have mostly been cardinals, though noncardinals were chosen in 1758 multiple times. Two laymen, John XIX and Adrian V, have held the throne, and today laymen could be made cardinals with a special permit to vote in conclaves.
