Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, stating that a diverse electorate of cardinals is meeting to pick the next pope and suggesting unpredictability. The claim that Francis appointed most of them is supported by implication from Verification Source #5, which discusses his impact on the Church's global representation. The suggestion of unpredictability is a common theme across multiple sources. There is a slight bias towards the idea that the cardinals might not choose someone like Francis.
