One of Pope Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� enduring legacies was that he greatly expanded the diversity of cardinals who will elect his successor, naming 바카라 게임 웹사이트�princes of the church바카라 게임 웹사이트� from faraway countries that had never had one before.That legacy is now throwing a wrench in the traditional sport of speculating about the next pope, since these far-flung cardinals don't know one another well and haven바카라 게임 웹사이트�t coalesced into clear voting blocs going into the conclave, the centuries-old ritual to elect a new pope.Video above: Pope Francis has been interred at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in RomeAs a result, all that is certain about the upcoming conclave is that there is no certainty.As the Oscar-nominated film 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Conclave바카라 게임 웹사이트� made clear, the election of a pope is a Hollywood-worthy drama steeped in mystery, secrecy and faith. But real-world politics and personal calculations come into play and will weigh on the 130-plus cardinals when they enter the Sistine Chapel to cast their ballots.What will the cardinals be looking for?No date has yet been set for the conclave, but it must start by May 10. After Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� funeral Saturday, the cardinals who have flocked to Rome will meet regularly this week, sizing one another up as they discuss the needs of the 1.4 billion-strong Catholic Church following Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� revolutionary papacy.Francis' 12-year pontificate was characterized by a focus away from doctrinaire rules to making the church more inclusive and welcoming. For progressives, it was a refocusing of mission back to the Gospel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s mandate to care for poor people and feed the hungry. For conservatives, Francis sowed confusion by introducing wiggle room in hot-button cultural issues such as the church바카라 게임 웹사이트�s teaching on marriage and homosexuality.As a result, the cardinals face a fundamental decision when looking for a successor: Does the church need someone to continue Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� legacy, focusing on the marginalized as Jesus did? Or does it need a course correction to rebuild unity, after Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� radical reforms alienated some?Video below: Pope Francis is laid to restOne question is whether the conservative wing, which counts cardinals from Africa, Eastern Europe and part of the U.S., has enough votes to swing the pendulum back to the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.Beyond that, the cardinals will consider more practical matters: Pick someone in his 60s and you might have a pope for 20-plus years, for better or worse. Pick a pope from where the church is alive and growing 바카라 게임 웹사이트� Asia or Africa 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and you might bring more upheaval to the Vatican's Italian-heavy bureaucracy that is still smarting from the Argentine pope바카라 게임 웹사이트�s go-it-alone style.Pick a relatively unknown pope and he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s just that, unknown.Who are the contenders?Chatbots and bookmakers바카라 게임 웹사이트� predictions aside, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s really anyone바카라 게임 웹사이트�s guess, said Alberto Melloni, a church historian.바카라 게임 웹사이트�They barely know each other,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Melloni said, recalling that in his last batch of cardinals alone, in December, Francis added 20 new voters to the conclave. These cardinals hailed from Algeria, Argentina and Australia and points in between, and may have first met the day they got their red hats.Of course there are some leading candidates. They stand out as front-runners simply because they are the most well-known.- Cardinal Pietro Parolin is a leading Italian, by nature of his office: He was Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� secretary of state, the Vatican No. 2, so known to every cardinal in the Sistine Chapel.- The top candidate to be history바카라 게임 웹사이트�s first Asian pope is also on everyone바카라 게임 웹사이트�s short list because he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s got a similarly high-profile Vatican job: Filippino Cardinal Luis Tagle, who heads the Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s evangelization office responsible for the Catholic Church in much of the developing world.Video below: 'Not unlike any funeral of a believer, just on a much larger scale': Pope Francis laid to rest- A leading candidate representing more of the conservative wing of the church is Hungarian Cardinal Erdo, 72, the archbishop of Budapest.바카라 게임 웹사이트�You don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t see in this moment real front-runners, because to be a front-runner, you need already to have behind you a packet of votes,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said longtime Vatican watcher Marco Politi, whose upcoming book 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Unfinished바카라 게임 웹사이트� explores Francis' unfinished business.Kingmakers expected to have a big roleBecause the cardinals don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t know each other well, no one is seen to have secured the packet of votes, suggesting it might take several rounds of voting to get a two-thirds majority.Melloni said cardinals shouldn't be afraid to let the conclave drag on, even if it sends a message of division as black smoke day after day signals a lack of consensus.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Certainly the church is divided. The problem is to find the one who unites, not pretend that it isn't divided," Melloni said.The lack of front-runners has made the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�kingmakers바카라 게임 웹사이트� more important in this conclave.These are the influential figures who themselves may not be considered 바카라 게임 웹사이트�papabile바카라 게임 웹사이트� but can rally votes from other cardinals in a particular direction. They include New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx and Congolese Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, the Franciscan archbishop of Kinshasa who heads the African bishops바카라 게임 웹사이트� conference.Just because they were named by Francis ...While 108 of the voting-age cardinals were created by Francis, they may not necessarily follow his mercy-over-morals line: Some may support Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� call for the church to be more inclusive, but oppose women priests, Politi said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Maybe they agree with the issue of giving Communion to divorced and remarried people, but they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want to bless a homosexual couple,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�So this makes this conclave very difficult.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Marx said the global outpouring of grief after Francis바카라 게임 웹사이트� death shows support for a pope who will continue his ministry focusing on people who are marginalized and against war.바카라 게임 웹사이트�People long for a voice that goes beyond national interests, beyond polarizations, beyond discussion about who overwhelms whom and who defeats whom," Marx told reporters after the funeral.Some outstanding questionsOne question is whether Cardinal Angelo Becciu, once one of the most powerful cardinals at the Vatican, will be allowed to cast a vote.Francis in 2020 forced Becciu to resign and relinquish his rights and privileges as a cardinal over alleged financial misconduct. The Sardinian prelate was later convicted of finance-related crimes by the Vatican criminal tribunal.He is appealing the convictions and has participated in Vatican events since his downfall. At 76, he is under the voting age limit of 80. However, official Vatican statistics list him as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�non elector.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He and his supporters maintain that he didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t lose his primary duty of electing a pope.Another question is where the cardinals will sleep.The Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Domus Santa Marta hotel was built in 1996 specifically to house cardinals during a conclave, so they could all be in one place and sequestered.At the time, St. John Paul II had decreed that there could only be 120 cardinal electors who could participate in a conclave, and the hotel was built to accommodate their numbers. But Francis and his predecessors regularly breached the 120-man threshold and the electors now number 135.Also, Room No. 201, where Francis chose to live after his 2013 election, is under seal and must remain so until a new pope is elected.Asked if the cardinals would be asked to double-up in hotel rooms, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni noted that such accommodations would be fitting.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a great opportunity to create community,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Bruni said.
