Following a nine-day mourning period for Pope Francis, the Catholic Church will hold a conclave in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope. The conclave involves 138 electors from the College of Cardinals, with voting occurring until a two-thirds majority is reached. Potential candidates include Cardinal Peter Erdo, Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Cardinal Robert Prevost, Cardinal Robert Sarah, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, and Cardinal Luis Tagle, each with unique backgrounds and perspectives on church issues.
