The Conor Gallagher Show Inside the Conclave: World Expert Discusses Every Top Candidate for Pope | Edward Pentin
Who will be the next pope—and what kind of Church will he inherit? What are the major forces shaping the next papal election? Is the Church heading toward reform, restoration—or rupture?
In this one-hour special episode of The Conor Gallagher Show, renowned Vatican journalist Edward Pentin joins Conor to unpack one of the most pressing questions in the Catholic Church today. As Pope Francis' pontificate comes to an end, the eyes of the world turn to the papabili—those cardinals considered most likely to become the next pope.
Drawing on decades of experience reporting from Rome and his groundbreaking research into the backgrounds, beliefs, and voting blocs within the College of Cardinals, Edward offers a comprehensive look at the leading contenders. From deeply orthodox voices to more heterodox figures, this episode dives into who they are, what they represent, and what their election could mean for the future of the Church.
