C will become the first African American to hold the rank. Nine of the new cardinals are eligible to enter a conclave to elect Francis's successor after his death or resignation. All 13 will be elevated to the high rank at a ceremony at the Vatican on November the 28th. The selection of MAWR Cardinal electors increases the possibility that the next pope will be someone who will continue his policies. Francis has now appointed about 57% of Cardinal electors, whose number rises to around 128 with the naming of the new cardinals. The others were appointed by Francis's Tomb or Conservative predecessors.
