This may help to explain it to you:https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/the-sacramental-intention-which-is-needed-for-valid-sacraments.html
Some people say that a man could be consecrated a bishop without being a priest first, but this is considered objectively doubtful.
Seen in this linked article: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/francis-appointed-cardinal-pope-could-name-a-woman-cardinalCardinal Tobin’s Case for Women Cardinals When asked by the NYT, “So will we see women cardinals soon?” Cardinal Tobin delivered perhaps his biggest stunner, “I don’t believe that there’s a compelling theological reason why the pope couldn’t name a woman cardinal.” ************************************************************************Ha, ain't no surprise who made Tobin a cardinal!
Now, it is true that Cardinals could be (and have been) laymen ... and don't have to be bishops or priests or clerics. But women? And I don't think that lay Cardinals can vote in conclaves.
