Conclave to choose a new Pope for the beginning of May 7, says the Vatican

Cardinals will meet next month in a secret conclass to choose the next Pope, the Vatican said.

The meeting with the closed door will start in the Sistine Chapel on May 7, and will include about 135 cardinals from around the world.

This implies the death of Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Easter Monday and the funeral on Saturday.

There is no time how much time it takes to choose the next pope, but the previous two results, which took place in 2005 and 2013, lasted only two days.

Vatican’s press secretary Matteo Bruni said the cardinals would take part in the solemn Mass in the Basilica of St. Peter, after which those who have the right to vote are going to the Sistine Chapel for a secret newsletter.

After entering the Sistine chapel, the Cardinals should not have communication with the outside world until a new pope is selected.

On the first day of the conclave there is only one round of voting, but the cardinals will vote up to four times after.

The new dad requires most of the two -thirds – and it can take time.

Each cardinal throws his vote on a simple map, which in Latin says, “I chose as the Supreme Pantif” to which they add the name of the chosen candidate.

If the conclave completes your third day without deciding, cardinals can pause for the day of prayer.

Beyond the Sistine Chapel, the world will watch the smoke from the chimney.

If the smoke is black, there will be another circle of voting. White smoke signals that a new Pope was chosen.

On Saturday, politicians and royalty joined thousands of mourning like Pope Francis’ The funeral occurred on St. Peter’s Square.

After the ceremony, huge crowds shot the streets of Rome to watch the pope’s coffin were moved to the procession to his last rest, Santa -Magoro Basilica.

Authorities said 140,000 people shot the streets, clapping and waving like a hearse – a converted white papmobil – moved along the Tiber River and spent some of Rome’s most famous attractions: Ball, Forum and National Monument to Alta Dili Patrhea.
