Thousands of workers will benefit from Pope Leo’s monetary gift including those who work in the Vatican’s bookstore, clothing stores, gas stations, and post office, along with the Holy See’s other lay and religious staff.
We await the name of our new pope.
This document, which was amended by Benedict XVI before his resignation from the papacy in 2013, stipulates that violating the secrecy of the conclave is punishable by automatic excommunication.
ANALYSIS: Three of the last five popes have been elected on the second day.
Thousands of faithful are gathered in St. Peter’s Square, hoping to witness history.
If the new pope is not elected on the first morning ballot, a second ballot is held immediately.
The 133 cardinal-electors begin the process, following prayer and taking of their oaths. A reflection and Marian hymn will precede the first vote.
At the end of the Mass, the cardinals and congregation sang the Regina Caeli, the traditional Easter hymn to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Starting Wednesday, 133 cardinal electors from 71 countries are gathering in the Sistine Chapel, making this conclave the largest and most universal in the history of the Catholic Church.
The papal election isn’t just for pundits — it’s a chance to teach your children about prayer, trust, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance of the Church.
