As the Catholic Church readies for the upcoming conclave on May 7, which will be the first with more than 120 Cardinal electors, various discussions emerge about the candidates and what qualities the cardinals are looking for in the next Pope. With concerns about the legacy of Pope Francis, conservative cardinals have begun expressing their opinions in pre-conclave talks. Notable contenders for the papacy include Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who is seen as a leading candidate, and discussions surrounding the possibility of having the first Asian pontiff. Meanwhile, preparations in the Vatican, including security measures at the Sistine Chapel, are underway. Cardinals are also sharing insights into what to expect from the conclave, with an emphasis on a prayerful atmosphere and the influence of the Holy Spirit during the selection process. As anticipation builds, cardinals are encouraged to seek the guidance of the humble and little ones, reflecting on the responsibilities that lie ahead.
