A conclave is called, and the cardinals remain in meeting until by vote a successor is chosen.
Right. But how do they choose the name?

Am I the only one who thinks he may have resigned for other reasons? He has been called into question for the way he handled the sex scandal at times. Maybe something was going to come out?

Daily Mail lists some potential papal candidates. Might we see an African Pope next? (the candidate's name is Peter)
Cardinal Roger M. Mahony praised outgoing Pope Benedict XVI for his legacy of spreading Catholicism throughout the world and said he looks forward to traveling to Rome to help elect a successor.
Last month, after the release of thousands of pages of records about sexual abuse by priests, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez announced that he had relieved Mahony of all public duties. The move, spurred by what Gomez said was Mahony's mishandling of the abuse cases, is unprecedented in the American Catholic Church.
Despite the public censure, Mahony is still allowed to help select a new Pope.
Mahony has since apologized for his actions in the sexual-abuse cases.
