He studied with Karol Woytyla before his election as Pope John Paul II. Joos was already 80 years old when he was elevated to cardinal and therefore could not take part in any future conclave. His elevation as cardinal was seen by many as gratitude from Pope John Paul II towards his long time friend. Before his nomination he was only known as a parish priest. Belgian media mistook him for another priest just after he was elevated to Cardinal.
