Amazing to me as a Catholic that the U.S. media has spent so much time relaying the feelings of conservatives about the conclave/next Pope. The amount of attention Catholic conservatives can get for themselves here is astounding. They're a very annoying rump group who is great at PR.

There's no way a conservative (Erdo, Burke, etc.) becomes Pope. If 90 of the 108 Cardinals Francis appointed stick together, they can elect whomever they want, and it won't be a right-winger. My guesses are Parolin or Tagle.
