About the episode

This week 133 cardinals will meet in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to select a new pope who will lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.

During his time, Pope Frances selected many cardinals from the global south and our correspondent in Rome tells us how this could influence who the next pope will be.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
