Conclave politics begin with the question: Continue Pope Francis' radical legacy or change course?
86% Informative
Cardinals this week will start in-depth discussions on planning the conclave to choose Pope Francis ' successor.
The 130-plus cardinals don't know one another well and haven’t coalesced into clear voting blocs.
All that is certain about the upcoming conclave is that there is no certainty.
One question is whether the conservative wing has enough votes to swing pendulum back to doctrinaire papacies of John Paul II and Benedict XVI .
The lack of front-runners has made the “kingmakers” more important in this conclave.
These are influential figures who can rally votes from other cardinals in a particular direction.
While 108 of the voting-age cardinals were created by Francis , they may not necessarily follow his mercy-over-morals line.
Some may support Francis ’ call for the church to be more inclusive, but oppose women priests.
