Maybe. But those Cardinals are free agents now. They don't have to fear retribution from +Francis (RIP) for their decisions. And they know that contributions, pilgrimages, etc. are way, way down.

Strange that JPII died on the Feast of Divine Mercy (aka Low Sunday, the Sunday after Easter) and +Francis died on (I guess) Easter Monday Rome time. What are the odds that two Popes so close together would both die in the octave of Easter?

Roughly the same as picking the 3-digit daily number correctly.
