Bonus: Predicting Popes with the Papability Index!

Who is going to be the next pope? This is a question that seems to have more and more traction every day, and many sources speculate on the possibility of each cardinal to come out on top of the next conclave. But what should we be looking at to determine papal potential?

Introducing Gabe, the creator of the Papability Index, an algorithm that determines the likelihood of a cardinal to be pope.

In this interview, Gabe and Bry discussed the creation of the formula, the factors that he feels are the most important, the most (and least) likely candidates, and how he has applied the formula to previous conclaves.
