The high drama that follows every papal funeral is so dramatic that movies have been made about it. And even before the Cardinals go into the Sistine Chapel to vote, the conversations between them that are never revealed are nevertheless the subject of intense speculation.

What’s the saying? Anyone who goes into the conclave as a Pope comes out of it a Cardinal! So buckle up.
