As the conclave begins, The Conclave Crew returns from Rome with deep insight into the pivotal question: What kind of pope does the world — and the Church — need right now?

Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal break down the qualities cardinals are seeking in the next pontiff. From the need for doctrinal clarity and the restoration of canon law, to financial stewardship and the healing of deep divisions, the team explores the urgent challenges the new pope must face. They also discuss leading candidates, including canon law experts, diplomatic figures, and surprise compromise picks, while Vatican journalist Ed Pentin joins with exclusive analysis straight from the General Congregations.

This candid, insider look reveals how the next pope could set the tone for the Church’s future — whether by reaffirming tradition, engaging the modern world, or doing both.
