Pope Francis papacy is considered the most progressive to date. But as he fights an extended illness, the process for electing a new pope has likely already begun.

For insight, we welcome: Michael W. Higgins, author of "The Jesuit Disruptor: A Personal Portrait of Pope Francis," and Emma Anderson, University of Ottawa professor in the Department of Classics and Religious Studies.
