Smoke Signals and Sacred Votes: How the Next Pope Is Chosen

🔥 The Story: The Papal Conclave Begins

Today, May 7, 2025, 133 cardinal electors have entered the Sistine Chapel to begin the sacred and secretive process of selecting the 267th pope, following the death of Pope Francis last month Axios.

The election of a new pope follows a centuries-old tradition known as the papal conclave. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Eligibility and Assembly: Only cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote. These cardinal electors gather in Rome and participate in general congregations to discuss the needs of the Church before the conclave begins USCCB.

  2. Sequestration: The cardinals are sequestered within the Vatican, specifically in the Sistine Chapel, to ensure confidentiality.

  3. Voting Process: Voting is conducted in silence, with each cardinal writing the name of their chosen candidate on a ballot.
