Where the cardinals stand one day before the conclave

Welcome to America magazine’s Conclave Podcast. In today’s episode from Rome, the team discusses the frontrunners entering the conclave, and explains how the voting could quickly confirm papabile lists or pivot to an unexpected candidate.

Featuring:

  • Gerard O’Connell, America’s Vatican correspondent and author of The Election of Pope Francis: An Inside Account of the Conclave that Changed History
  • Colleen Dulle, co-host of the “Inside the Vatican” podcast
  • Sam Sawyer, S.J., editor in chief of America

Inside the Vatican

Each week, Colleen Dulle goes behind the headlines of the biggest Vatican news stories with America’s Rome correspondent Gerard O’Connell. They'll break down complicated news stories that have a whole lot of history behind them in an understandable, engaging way. Colleen and Gerard will give you the inside scoop on what people inside the Vatican are thinking, saying—and planning.

The history (and future) of covering conclaves
'America' is covering its 10th papal conclave this week—and while the technology has changed, the content remains much the same.

I learned to love the last three popes. I look forward to embracing the next one, too.
