VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Cardinals at the Vatican are gathering for their final day of talks before the conclave to elect the next pope.
Several cardinals are signed up to speak at today's closed-door session, an indication that they still have plenty to discuss, including whether the Catholic Church needs a manager pope to clean up the Vatican's messy bureaucracy or a pastoral pope who can inspire the faithful and make Catholicism relevant again.
The conclave to elect a new pope is set to begin on Tuesday.
