Conclave

After the Pope dies of a heart attack, the College of Cardinals, under the leadership of British Cardinal-Dean Thomas Lawrence, gathers in seclusion to elect his successor. The four main candidates are Aldo Bellini of the United States, a liberal in the vein of the late Pope; Joshua Adeyemi of Nigeria, a social conservative; Joseph Tremblay of Canada, a moderate within the Church; and Goffredo Tedesco of Italy, a staunch traditionalist.
