 10 cardinals who might succeed Pope Francis


By Okiki Adeduyite


Following the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, the Catholic Church has entered a period known as sede vacante, which is Latin for “the seat being vacant”.

This triggers the centuries-old process of selecting a new pope.

With no clear frontrunner, attention has turned to a number of high-ranking cardinals considered potential successors to the 266th pontiff, who led the Church from 2013 until his death at age 88.

The selection of a new pope will be decided during a conclave, a secretive gathering of eligible cardinals inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican.

The process is guided by long-established traditions and rituals, though the outcome is far from predictable.

According to reports by The Telegraph and CNBC, several cardinals have emerged as possible papabili, a term used to describe those considered likely to be elected pope.

The list includes figures from various regions and theological leanings, some closely aligned with Pope Francis’ progressive vision and others representing a more conservative approach.

Here are 10 cardinals being widely mentioned in Western media as likely contenders:

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines)
