On 28 June 1988, this church was erected as a cardinal's title. The first two cardinal priests to hold title to this church were Hans Hermann Groer, O.S.B. and Keith O'Brien. Each of these cardinals was implicated in sexual scandals and renounced his privileges as cardinal.[2][3] The title has been held by Toribio Ticona Porco since 28 June 2018.
