Secret Vote, White Smoke: After Pope Francis' Death, How Will Next Catholic Church Leader Be Picked?

The election of a new pope takes place in a highly secretive gathering called the Conclave, which is held in the Sistine Chapel. Only cardinals under 80 years old can vote. The process follows strict rules to ensure fairness and prevent outside influence. Before voting begins, each cardinal swears an oath of secrecy. Multiple rounds of voting take place, and a candidate must receive a two-thirds majority to be elected. Once a new pope is chosen, white smoke is released from the Sistine Chapel, signaling that a decision has been made.
