Pope Francis was a man of the people. Will the next pope be?

After 12 years as the head of the Catholic church — and the most famous Christian in the world — Pope Francis died on Monday (April 21) at 88. A charismatic reformer, the first Latin American pope and the first Jesuit pope, Francis was beloved well beyond the Catholic church. As world leaders, Catholic faithful and cardinals from around the globe travel to the Vatican this week to mourn Francis, talk of his successor has also begun. The Conclave — made all the more intriguing to many by the recent Oscar nominated movie of the same name — will take place in the coming days and the lists of “papabile,” or favored successors, are already rolling in. Katelyn and Roxy are joined by Claire Giangravé, RNS’s voice of the Vatican, for a reflection on Francis’s legacy and a sneak preview of the Vatican drama to come.

GUEST:

Claire Giangravé is a Rome-based reporter for RNS, covering the Catholic Church and the Vatican.
