Who Will Replace Pope Francis? Two Favorites Emerge
Just hours after the death of Pope Francis was announced on Monday, speculation was already mounting about which of his cardinals would be most likely to replace him.
Almost 1.4 billion Catholics around the world were plunged into mourning after the Vatican confirmed the ailing 88-year-old had passed away following weeks of ill health. His death has created a void at the top of the Catholic church, which must now appoint a new religious leader.
A range of senior church officials have been touted as future pontiffs, but bookies suggest that two cardinals in particular have the shortest odds; Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle.
