ROME (CNN) –
Catholic cardinals are meeting for a second day Tuesday at the Vatican, as they prepare to set a timetable for selecting a new pope.

More cardinals are arriving Tuesday morning so there should be fewer than eight cardinal-electors still to come, according to Vatican spokesman the Rev. Thomas Rosica.

The cardinal-electors, those aged under 80 who are eligible to vote for the new pontiff, are thought to number 115 in total.
