And for Americans who are visiting Rome this week, it&#8217;s a chance to experience history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s &#8230; probably once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in Rome when they&#8217;re doing the conclave,&#8221; John Swierk told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; co-host Tony Dokoupil.<\/p>\n<p>Several Americans said they believe God will guide the conclave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not hoping for much because the Holy Spirit will hopefully lead either the Cardinals or lead the pope after the decision,&#8221; said Grant Avis. &#8220;They&#8217;ll be a successor of Christ either way, it&#8217;s not really about my opinions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But some, like Kathy Freeman, a Catholic flight attendant from New Jersey who flew to Rome for work, said, &#8220;I see it more political than divine intervention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like politics in the United States,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s another government up there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A new\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-poll-us-catholics-look-to-next-pope\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News poll<\/a><\/span> found that 42% of American Catholics hope Pope Francis&#8217; successor continues his teachings. Freeman is among those, but adds she is still unsatisfied with aspects of the current church and raised her children outside of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love as a Catholic to see more female intervention in all parts of the service,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Dokoupil spoke to a group of men from Missouri who were also in Rome. They said the new pope doesn&#8217;t need to be more liberal or conservative, but that he needs to unite the faith.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Moreso than needing somebody who is left or right, we just need somebody who is a champion of the faith that everybody can get behind,&#8221; said Alex Harold.<\/p>\n<p>He also said the papacy &#8220;does not need to fit the age,&#8221; adding &#8220;that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s 2,000 years old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>CBS News poll shows what U.S. Catholics want in next pope<\/h2>\n<p>A majority of those surveyed in the recent CBS News poll think the next pope should speak out on the world&#8217;s political issues. They would also look for a pope who supports letting priests marry; of letting women be ordained as priests; and \u2014 overwhelmingly \u2014 for the use of birth control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the poll found a division of views between U.S. Catholics who are regular churchgoers and those who rarely or never attend.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, the number of Catholics attending mass has dwindled over the past few decades. Weekly or nearly weekly attendance is down 12% since 2000, according to Gallup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going through a crisis in the Catholic Church in the United States and especially in the global north. We have young people who just aren&#8217;t interested and are leaving,&#8221; said Father Thomas Reese, a priest and longtime chronicler of the faith. &#8220;It&#8217;s something like one out of three people who were baptized Catholic no longer identify as Catholic in the United States. That&#8217;s huge!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>When will the conclave elect the next pope?<\/h2>\n<p>The 133 cardinal electors who make up the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/conclave-2025-when-will-cardinals-replace-pope-francis\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">conclave<\/a><\/span> meet Wednesday. There is no set deadline for when a new pope will be elected to lead the world&#8217;s 1.4 billion Catholics, but recent popes have been chosen within two to three days of the conclave convening.<\/p>\n<p>A candidate must receive two-thirds of the electors&#8217; votes, plus one, to become the next pope. When that happens, white smoke will rise from the Sistine Chapel to indicate a new pope has been selected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n      <em><\/p>\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Fred  Backus<\/span>, <\/p>\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Jennifer  De Pinto<\/span> and <\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/anthony-salvanto\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Anthony  Salvanto<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.<br \/>\n      <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">Pope Francis &amp; 2025 Papal Conclave<\/h3>\n<p>                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/pope-francis\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              More<br \/>\n              <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n              <\/svg><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/pope-francis\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/kelsie-hoffman\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kelsie  Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kelsie Hoffman is a push and platform editor on CBS News&#8217; Growth and Engagement team.
