US EditionPapal conclave to select new pope
- The papal conclave to elect Pope Francis's successor begins May 7, 2025, in the Sistine Chapel with 133 cardinal electors present.
- This conclave follows Pope Francis's death on April 21, a nine-day mourning period, and restricts voting to cardinals under 80 years old.
- The cardinals meet in prayerful seclusion, vote twice daily by secret ballot, and require a two-thirds majority to elect the new pope.
- White smoke will signal a pope has been chosen, black smoke means voting continues, and past conclaves have lasted from days to several years.
- The conclave's outcome will decide the spiritual leader for 1.4 billion Catholics and could influence whether Pope Francis’s reforms continue or the church shifts conservatively.
