Timothy Dolan: 我作为纽约大主教，在即将到来的教宗选举中，我祈求圣灵的指引，并希望下一任教宗能够融合前任教宗们的优秀品质，例如弗朗西斯教宗的亲民，本笃十六世教宗的智慧，以及若望保禄二世教宗的勇气。我2013年参与教宗选举的经验使我更加从容。 Sylvia Poggioli: 教宗选举过程的独特之处在于其仪式性和严格的保密性。选举期间，枢机主教们与世隔绝，禁止使用任何通讯工具，以确保选举的公正性。在教宗葬礼后，枢机主教们一直在开会讨论天主教会面临的诸多问题，例如财务赤字和性侵丑闻。枢机主教团的构成具有地域性和任命者多样性，教宗方济各任命了大部分投票枢机主教，他们来自世界各地，反映了天主教发展重心的转变。选举仪式从弥撒开始，然后枢机主教们进入西斯廷教堂，非选举人被请出后，大门关闭，开始投票。虽然枢机主教们在西斯廷教堂内保持沉默，但在其他场合，他们之间会进行政治活动、辩论和竞选。根据梵蒂冈资深记者的预测，教宗选举结果可能在周五之前揭晓，热门人选包括帕罗林枢机、皮扎巴拉枢机、塔格勒枢机等，他们分别代表着不同的派系和观点，反映了教会内部保守派和改革派之间的复杂博弈。
