Could the next pope come from Africa?
Cardinals from around the world are meeting at the Vatican to elect the next head of the catholic church in a secret conclave.

And what is at stake for the continent as the catholic church chooses its next leader?
Alan Kasujja speaks to Reverend Professor Paulinus Odozor, a Professor of Theology and African Studies at Notre Dame University.
