The man tasked with leading the Catholic Church until a replacement for Pope Francis is elected is a bloke from Dublin called Kevin.

Raised in an Irish-speaking household in the working class suburb of Drimnagh, Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell has risen to become one of the most powerful men in the Vatican.

The 77-year-old’s firm opposition to same-sex marriage stands in contrast to Pope Francis’s decision to allow priests to bless same-sex couples.

But this didn’t stop the late Pope from appointing him ‘camerlengo’, giving him responsibility for ensuring a smooth transition.

After certifying Francis’s death, Farrell will prepare for the papal conclave, through which the next Pope will be elected.

This private gathering of cardinals at the Vatican must take place within 15 to 20 days of the Pope’s death.
