(RNS) As Catholic cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, our Sweet Sistine Pope Madness tournament is down to its final two bishops.

More than 26,100 people have voted in the first three rounds, delivering Cardinal Marc Ouellet of Canada and Cardinal John Onaiyekan of Nigeria to the finals. Who will be the People’s Pope, the Bishop of the Bracket, the Victorious Vicar?!?

THIS ROUND IS NOW CLOSED: PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR WINNER!

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
