The Vatican has said of this number, 108 are “novices” who have never before taken part in the selection of a new pontiff.
The papal conclave is an age-long tradition during which a new head of the Catholic Church is installed.
The church leaders will be barred from leaving or making any contact with the outside world, until they select the next leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.
When the choice is made, white smoke will billow from the Apostolic Palace.
Soon after, the next pope will appear on the balcony to wave to an expectant crowd.
While it is very unlikely the decision on Pope Francis’ successor will take quite as long or be quite as contentious, Vatican watchers agree that the winner is not a foregone conclusion.

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile the movie Conclave is an interesting watch..the politics and scheming is top notch
How the black cardinal was framed need to be studied
The movie came just in time for this same period. Lol
DeleteI liked the movie but they could have done better with the ending. It was a great reflection on the intoxicating nature of power and how some will do anything for it.
DeleteWoww
