Catholic Church prepares to elect new pope, with Cardinals Parolin and Tagle as leading contenders.
The Catholic Church is set to elect Pope Francis' successor in the upcoming papal conclave, with Cardinals Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle seen as potential "continuity" candidates.
Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, is noted for his diplomatic skills and ability to attract support from various factions within the Church.
Despite a recent fainting spell, he remains a strong contender.
Tagle, a Filipino cardinal, is also considered, and his selection could mark the first Asian pope, reflecting the church's growth in Asia and Africa.
The conclave is scheduled to begin on May 7.
