As cardinals from around the world start to gather in Rome for Pope Francis' funeral, conversations are already beginning over his likely successor.

Remembering Pope Francis

Public viewing for Pope Francis begins Wednesday ahead of Saturday funeral

It's difficult to know how the 135 cardinals eligible to vote in the highly secretive elections — known as the conclave — will negotiate to lead the Catholic Church when they begin next month, or how they will ultimately vote.

But below is a list of some of the best-known candidates who may be under consideration.

Pietro Parolin

The current secretary of state for the Holy See, Parolin is an experienced Italian diplomat who has helped oversee the Vatican's internal affairs but also worked on behalf of the Catholic Church around the world in countries from Venezuela to Vietnam. He's carried out a range of tasks — supporting peace initiatives in Colombia as well as building bridges with Chinese authorities in Beijing. Perhaps more cautious than Francis, he has nonetheless largely supported the late pope's agenda, and may thus have earned criticism from those in the church who were opposed to that agenda. His deal to give the Chinese government authority over the appointment process for bishops in the country also created some detractors who said it hamstrung the church's ability to criticize human rights abuses. Parolin has, though, publicly criticized President Trump's stated plans to evict Palestinians from Gaza, and has previously spoken about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at several international venues. And as a native of northern Italy who speaks multiple languages including French and Spanish, he could appeal to other Italian, French and Spanish cardinals voting in the conclave.
