Cardinal Daniel DiNardo – the first ever cardinal from the southern United States who also oversees the Houston-Galveston diocese – will be among the select few to not only chose the next pope but be a possible candidate.

DiNardo, 62, is one of only 118 cardinals worldwide who are just one step below the pope.
