Following the death of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church begins the process of electing his successor through a Conclave involving 135 cardinals. AI predictions suggest Cardinal Pietro Parolin will be chosen due to his reputation as a compromise candidate for both reformers and traditionalists. The election process will start 15 days post-Francis's death, requiring cardinals to vote in secrecy, making the prediction of a successor particularly challenging as several candidates are vying for the role.
The new pope will be elected in the notoriously secretive process called Conclave. The word 'conclave' - from the Latin 'cum clave', or 'with key' - vividly conveys its clandestine nature.
As Vatican Secretary of State since 2013, Parolin is viewed as the 'continuity' candidate - acceptable to both reformers and traditionalists.
