Voting out —with starting to choose a new pope

On Wednesday night, under the dome ceiling of the Sistine chapel Michelangelo, 133 cardinals will vote for the election of the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church.

The day will start at 10:00 (09:00 BST) with a lot in St. Peter’s Basilica. The service, which will be broadcast, will be managed by Giovanni Batista Re, 91-year-old Cardinal Din, who was also Pope Francis’ anniversary.

In the afternoon, the mobile signal on the Vatican will be deactivated to prevent anyone from taking part in the conclave contact the outside world.

Around 16:15 (15:15 BST), 133 drainers will gather in the Pauline chapel and form a procession to the Sistine Chapel.

All the time, they will sing the litany and the creator of Veni’s hymns – a call for the Holy Spirit, which is seen as governing hands, which will help cardinals choose a new pope.

Once in the Sistine Chapel, one hand, leaning on a copy of the Gospel, the cardinals will say the prescribed mysteries that prevents them from sharing details about how the new Pope was selected.

If the last of the voters took the oath, meditation will be carried out. Then the master of the papal liturgical festivities Diego Ravel will announce “additional omnes” (“all out”).

He is one of the three church staff who allowed you to stay in the Sistine Chapel, despite the fact that it is not a voter of the cardinal, although they will have to leave the premises during the vote count.

The moment of “additional omnes” is pronounced that the start of the cardinals is the beginning of the conclave.

A word that comes from Latin for “Cum Clave” or “Blocked with the Key” is slightly misleading because the cardinals are no longer closed inside; Rather, the Vatican officials closed the entrances to the Apostolic Palace on Tuesday, which includes the Sistine chapel with lead seals that will remain until the end of the case. The Swiss Guard will also unleash all the entrances to the chapel.

Diego Ravel will distribute ballots, and the cardinals will go to the first vote soon.

Although nothing forbids the Pope selected with the first vote, it has not happened for centuries. However, this first newsletter is very important, says Austin Hebrew, a Catholic writer and commentator.

“Cardinals with more than 20 votes will be taken into account. The first ballot papers will be highly scattered, and voters know that they should focus on those who have numbers,” says Joir.

He adds that all other ballots will then indicate which of the cardinals has a momentum. “It’s almost like a political campaign … But it’s not really competition; it’s a body effort to find consensus.”

If the vote does not give two-thirds of the majority required to choose a new pope, the cardinals return to the boarding house Santa Marta for dinner. It is then, on the sidelines of the voting process, important conversations among the cardinals pass, and the consensus begins to merge around different names.

According to the Italian media, the menu options consist of light dishes, which are usually served by guests of the residence, and includes wine – but no perfume. Waiters and kitchen staff also swear secrecy and cannot leave the grounds for the time of the conclave.

From Thursday morning, the Cardinals will break up between 06:30 (05:30 BST) and 07:30 (06:30 BST) Ahead at 08:15 (07:15 BST). Then the two voices pass in the morning, then lunch and rest. In his memoirs, Pope Francis stated that he then began to receive signals from other cardinals, that a serious consensus began to form around him; He was selected during the first voting day. The last two results were completed by the end of the second day.

At this stage, there is no way to find out if it will be a long or short conclave – but the cardinals know that the dragging case can be interpreted as a sign of disagreement.

When discussing, praying and voting, beyond the side windows of the Sistine Chapel, thousands of believers will look for the chimney to the right of St. Peter’s Basilica, waiting for the white plume to signal that the next pope was elected.
