On Wednesday, Martha and Cardinal Dolan reflected on Pope Francis’s passing and the enduring hope within the Catholic Church. As the College of Cardinals prepares to elect a new pope, they look ahead to the Church’s future.
As Cardinal Dolan enters his second conclave, he addresses the assertion that Cardinals belong to 'liberal' or 'conservative' camps -- emphasizing that the Cardinals see themselves as a connected group of believers working together to do what's best for the Church. He highlights the process' complexity, the central role of prayer, and addresses the question of whether he could ever become pope.
