The cardinals from around the world will meet in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, and cannot leave until they have chosen a successor. There is intense speculation about whether the conclave will select someone expected to build on Francis’ legacy or return to older church traditions. There is also a possibility that the first Asian pontiff could be elected, with Cardinal Luis Tagle of the Philippines cited as a contender.
