- 🕊️ Pope Francis's funeral was held this past weekend, marking the beginning of the process to elect his successor.
- 📍 For the first time in recent history, the Pope was laid to rest outside Saint Peter's Basilica, at the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
- 🏛️ Over 13,000 people filed into the Basilica on Sunday to view the Pope's tomb after it was opened to the public.
The Conclave Process
- 🗓️ The conclave to elect a new pope is set to begin sometime in May.
- ⛪ Cardinals will sequester inside the Sistine Chapel to vote in secret.
- 🗳️ Voting will occur several times a day until a two-thirds majority is reached.
- 🔥 After each vote, ballots are burned: black smoke indicates no decision, while white smoke signals a new pope has been elected.
- ⏳ Conclaves typically last about a week, though the one that elected Pope Francis concluded in just over 24 hours.
