Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Papal Handicapping, Conclave Traditions
Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the former Secretary of State under Pope Francis, is identified as a leading candidate for the papacy. Analysts note that while "he who enters a conclave as Pope exits as a Cardinal," Parolin's stability makes him a favorite for those seeking continuity. The hosts discuss the logistics of the Sistine Chapel voting process and the age restrictions that prevent cardinals over 80 from participating in the election.
