The Conclave Crew: What Happens This Week

As the College of Cardinals prepares for one of the most consequential votes of our time, The Conclave Crew returns from Rome with the inside story on what happens next. This week, Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down what’s expected in the days ahead: when the conclave could begin, how the cardinals are organizing behind closed doors, and what traditions—old and new—will shape the election of the next pope. Will the College seek a candidate who represents continuity with Pope Francis, or will they pivot to tradition and orthodoxy? From diplomatic heavyweights like Cardinal Pietro Parolin to global shepherds like Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem, the panel offers candid analysis of the frontrunners and surprise names being whispered across Vatican City. Plus: the hidden factors—health concerns, scandals, and the sheer unknown—that could upend expectations as ballots are cast. Whether you're watching closely or just tuning in, this episode offers essential insight and context as the Church stands on the cusp of history.
