While Pope Francis appears to be slowly recovering from severe bronchitis and double pneumonia, talk is turning to the inevitable... Who will be the next Bishop of Rome to emerge from the next Conclave? It will be one of the 252 members of the College of Cardinals, the Catholic Church's bishops whose most important task is to elect the next Pope. But one of the challenges for the Cardinals? They don't know each other very well. Normally they would have an opportunity to encounter each other and learn more about each other at a Consistory, a Cardinal meeting in Rome usually held when new Cardinals are created. But Pope Francis hasn't called for a Consistory in more than ten years. So veteran Vatican journalist Diane Montagna is part of a group that created a website called 'Cardinalium Collegii Report', aka, The College of Cardinals Report. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Montagna talks about the website, why it was created, who are the Cardinals, what they believe, and most importantly who are the most papabile, able to be Pope.
