An Ohio native is among the Catholic Church cardinals who will choose a new pope. The funeral for Pope Francis, who died Monday at 88, is Saturday.

Pope Francis, supreme pastor to almost 1.5 billion Catholics, died on Monday at the age of 88. The papal throne, which now sits vacant, is approximately 2,000 years old. In the past, popes crowned kings and emperors.

And according to an analysis by Religion News Service, as of April 21, of the 135 members of the College of Cardinals eligible to vote, 108 — 80% — were appointed by Francis. An additional 16.3% were appointed by Pope Benedict, and only 3.7% were tapped by Pope John Paul II.
