How is the newly selected Pope and what is a Papal Conclave? | World News

With the death of Pope Francis, the wheels moved to choose a new whale.

Rituals for choosing a complicated new whale and a last date. So how does it work?

This is what will happen in Vatican.

When a Pope dies or, more rarely, resigning, the Catholic Church enters a period called “Sede Vacante”. This means “empty chair” – because there is no whale sitting on the throne of St. Peter.

Pope Francis Dies – Latest Renewal

Late whale rings and seals – used to send papal documents – damaged to stop others from using it.

During this time a cardinal – known as Camerlengo or Chamberlain – became the church temporary church with limited power.

“Sede Vacante” generally lasts several weeks while the Pope’s body is located in the state, the funeral is held and the cardinals are preparing to gather for the conclave.

Konklaf

Conclaves takes place in the sistine chapel, the famous Vatican hall whose walls and sky are decorated with the works of Michelangelo.

This meeting featured cardinals from all over the world and lasted until the new Pope was selected. Only cardinal under the age of 80 (cardinal voters) is permitted to participate in the conclave and vote them to the new Pope.

At present, from 252 Cardinals, there are 135 cardinal voters: 53 from Europe; 23 from Asia; 20 from North America; 18 from Africa; 17 from South America; and four from Oceania.

Countries with the most cardinals that can choose are Italy with 17, the US has 10 and Brazil has seven. Britain has three.

After the conclave begins, the cardinals will not emerge from the Vatican until the new whale has been selected. The word “konklaf” comes from Latin, which means “with a key” – reference to isolation in which cardinals are stored.

They held a voting session at the Sistine chapel and slept at the Casa Santa Marta Hotel in the Vatican land.

The longest konklaf lasted almost three years, between 1268 and 1271. Some only lasted one day. The elected Pope Yohanes Paul in 1978 lasted less than three days. Cardinals Choosing Pope Francis in about two days.

While conclave is ongoing, Cardinals cannot communicate with the outside world. There is no telephone, the use of the internet or newspaper is permitted.

Except for the first day, when only one voting, Cardinals held two daily voting sessions until one candidate had the majority of two -thirds plus one. They were all sworn in confidentiality about voting.

White smoke?

So how do we know if the decision has been achieved? Yes, this is black smoke, white smoke.

If the cardinals have not yet reached the majority, cards and calculation sheets are placed on the stove and burned with additives to produce black smoke, showing the outside world that the whale has not been chosen.

Witnessing the smoke that arises from the top of Sistine’s chapel is something that is tradition, with Catholics gathered to the St. Peter field for the spectacle.

If there are no results achieved in three days, the session is suspended for a day to allow prayer and discussion. More ballots were then held until the majority of two -thirds were reached.

When enough Cardinals approved a candidate for the next Pope, the candidate was then asked whether he accepted and by which name he wanted to be known.

Then the ballot is burned as before, but with additives to produce white smoke.

The new whale stated

The new Pope then wore his new papal robe – Tailors guarded large, medium and small sizes ready – and sat on the throne in Sistine’s chapel to accept other cardinals who submitted respect and swear compliance with new church leaders.

The senior cardinal then stepped out to the Central Basilica St. Peter’s Balcony facing the Alun -Alun and announced in Latin: “Annuntio Vobis Gaudium Magnum. Habemus papam” (I announced to you great excitement. We have a whale) and reveal the cardinal name and the name he chose.

The new Pope later appeared on the balcony to deliver his first public curtain and bless the crowd at St. Peter’s Square.

A few days later, the new Pope celebrated Mass which marked the beginning of his service.
