Potential pope candidates as conclave begins Vatican City — Of the 266 popes who have led the Catholic Church, not one of them has been from the United States.

Vatican City — All the Vatican staff who will be involved in the 2025 conclave to pick the late Pope Francis' successor — from the cleaners to the cooks and custodians — have taken their oath of secrecy.
