Who will be the next pope? Here’s how the conclave works

The day after the death, a group called the College of Cardinals gathers in what is known as the general congregation to discuss the plans for the pope’s funeral and the process of choosing a successor. All the church’s cardinals who can take part in the election council, which can trace its roots to 1059, will do so.
The group must decide the date of the funeral. In 2005, John Paul II’s funeral was six days after his death, and the conclave to choose a successor met 10 days later.
NBC News chief international correspondent Keir Simmons tells us how the new pope will be chosen.

I was raised catholic and I am not religious or practicing catholic, but the 2 times I heard in my life “habemos papa” it chills me to the bone. Tradition is strong

It better not be a more conservative one. They may start agreeing with trump and the world has been seeing how bad he's doing. If the new pope is on trumps side, the whole world is lost.

Let's us pray who will be the best can give humility love compassion to the world not only for Catholic people...❤❤❤

The pope met Vance and gave up the will to live 🤔

[MariaMartinez-researcher]

Instead of watching "Conclave, " better watch "The Two Popes, " with Anthony Hopkins as Benedict XVI and Jonathan Pryce as Francis.

Rest easy Pope Francis. Asa Muslim I have to say you was one of the good ones

[Lion-fjwp]

He was a good pope 🙏🏾 R.I.P I would like to see a black pope and much younger one 🙏🏾🙏🌍

[ArtemioMarifosque]

Rest in Peace joyfully, Pope Francis, from Philippines!

[deceio]

How about a black pope? That would be great! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾

I see Vatican age rules to elect Popes have changed significantly since the late '70s. In fact, late Pope John Paul II was elected at 58 in 1978 and held his position for twenty-seven rounds to the sun. WOW! Now being between 65 and 70 is considered "too young" to be elected. RIP Pope Francis, the first Latin American cardenal to be such.👼🙏😇

Not considering anyone from America huh?....As an American that sounds correct. 😒

[celieneohara]

Dear God. PLEASE don't vote for a freaking conservative! No no no!

[brummie.bill-.]

The cardinals are torn between electing Trump or Vance.

[theoriginalDVD]

Vance goes to see the Pope and hours later the leader of the Catholic Church is dead.

[laurac]

It's a brilliant practice....only the holy know....❤we as catholics pray so hard right

[theleproject]

I think this selection is not even listed in the Bible but a tradition.

[WillieHolland-ti]

[jimmieeddieschwenk]

[Kathy-zr]
