Cardinals hope for speedy conclave to pick new pope, under Michelangelo’s gaze | Honolulu Star-Advertiser

  • On May 7, 133 cardinal electors will begin a conclave in the Sistine Chapel to select the next pope following Pope Francis's death.
  • The conclave follows longstanding procedures including a pre-conclave Mass and oath-taking, with cardinals sworn to secrecy about the election details.
  • Cardinals will vote up to four times daily inside the chapel, and black or white smoke from the chimney will signal election progress to the public.
  • Recent conclaves have averaged about 3.2 days, and experts expect this conclave to conclude within three days to project unity among cardinals.
  • The new pope will inherit a church facing local declines but signs of renewed Latin Mass attendance and divided opinions on the future direction of Catholicism.
