Vatican workers install simple stoves at Sistine Church where votes will burn The upcoming meeting elects the new pope, As the cavalry continued in the running among the cardinals.

The Holy See released a video of the May 7 meeting preparations on Saturday, which included the installation of stoves and fake floors in the frescoed Sistine church to make it more actionable. The video also shows workers lined up on simple wooden tables, with the Cardinal sitting down and voting starting Wednesday, with a ramp leading to any cardinal’s main seating area on the wheelchair.

Firefighters were seen on the roof of the church on the chimney on Friday, and smoke signals would indicate whether they were elected as Pope.

All these preparations resulted in a solemn feast at the beginning of the meeting to elect successors Pope Francis, The first Latin American pope in history, he died on April 21 at the age of 88. Francis said in a statement Died from a stroke That made him coma, leading to irreversible heart failure.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni released a net rejection report on Friday, with one of the leading candidates, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, suffering from health problems earlier this week and requiring medical care. The report on blood pressure was carried by Italian media and taken over by CatholicVote.org, a US website led by Brian Burch, which was the choice of the Trump administration to become the Holy See ambassador.

The speculation about the health of the Pope candidate is to conclude that politics and maneuver the midstream tay column, as various factions try to torpedo or promote certain candidates. Francis experienced firsthand the dynamic firsthand: When the votes were in the 2013 meeting, a breathless cardinal asked him if he really had only one lung, just like a rumor. (Francis later said that he told the Cardinal that he had removed the upper lobe of one of his lungs when he was young.) He was elected soon after.

Some are weighing other so-called “popes.” In addition to paralin, Other candidates Names appearing include Luis Antonio Tagle, the former Archbishop of Manila, and Robert Sarah, a conservative cardinal in Guinea.

Little is known about the 15 cardinals named from the nations that Francis had not had before or how they would vote for. One of them is Anders Arborelius of Sweden.

“We live in times of conflict, war,” he said. “So it is important to have a voice that can say other words, and God is present.”

What is the Pope Conference?

pope in conclusion It is the tight guard gathering of cardinal voters (all of whom are under 80) to elect the next pope.

The exact numbers vary, but currently 135 cardinal voters are eligible to convene the Vatican around the world to choose Pope Francis’ successor. Among all the current cardinal voters, Pope Francis appointed 108 during his 12-year Pope. They come from 71 different countries, including 10 in the United States.

What happens to the conference competition?

According to the church’s regulations, the Pope must start 15 to 20 days after his death. Pope Francis Died on April 21.

The Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, celebrated Wednesday morning by Giovanni Battista Re, the dean of the Cardinal College, began, and since then, Cardinal voters have been isolated from the rest of the world. In the afternoon, they will join the Sistine Church, hear meditation and swear, and then vote again.

If no candidates reach the necessary two-thirds majority in the first vote, the papers will be burned and the smoke will show the world that there is no pope election.

The Cardinals will return to their Vatican residence for the night and return to Sistine Church Thursday morning, with two votes in the morning and two in the afternoon until the winner is found.

Every cardinal must sworn absolutely confidential before voting. If they disclose any information from the scope of the conference, the church will be deported from the church.

After every two rounds of vote, the vote will burn in the stove. If the Pope is not selected, mix the ballot with a cartridge containing potassium chloride, anthraxone (the component of coal tar) and sulfur to create black smoke from the chimney. If there is a winner, the ballot is mixed with potassium chlorate, lactose and chloroform resin to produce white smoke.

White smoke emerged from the chimney in the fifth vote on March 13, 2013, and Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was introduced into the world as Pope Francis was introduced shortly afterwards from Loggia in St. Peter’s Basilica.

Preparations are underway to discuss the future needs of the Catholic Church and the types of pope who can lead it when the Cardinal meets privately at a more informal meeting.
