Pope can choose any name
When a cardinal is chosen as the Pope, he is asked by what name he wants to be called. This tradition has been going on since the 6th century. The Pope has freedom that he can choose any name, but usually they choose the names of the earlier Pope or saints.
133 cardinals from all over the world reached Vatican to choose a new Pope, out of which 4 are Indians.
Pope Francis died on 21 April. The 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church was being selected.
On May 7, all the signals were closed about 90 minutes before the voting started. The conclave area was placed in a strict lockdown to prevent leaks.
The same method was adopted in 2013 when signal blockers were installed for the election of Pope Francis. The daily work in the Vatican has also taken an oath to remain silent.
Conclave is a secret and sacred process, which has been going on since the 13th century. According to the Constitution of the Vatican, the conclave should begin within 15 to 20 days of the demise of the Pope.
2 days before the commencement of the conclave, the employees of the Vatican, such as priests, security guards, doctors, technician Aadi, have taken the oath of privacy to maintain the secrecy of the new Pope’s election.
Before voting, the Systein Chapel is completely separated from the outside world. This entire area is investigated. Cardinals do not have mobile phones, internet and newspaper facilities.
On May 7, a chimney has been installed on the roof of Systine Chappell, before the choice of the new Pope and the Conclave at St. Peter Square, Vatican.
Paple Conclave- New Pope’s selection process
There is no official announcement about the next Pope contenders after the Pope’s death. The process of selection of new Pope is called ‘Papal Conclave’. When the Pope dies or they resign, the Catholic Church cardinals choose.
Cardinals are a group of big priests. Their job is to advise the Pope. Every time the pope is chosen from these cardinals. Although it is not necessary to have a cardinal to become a pope, but till now every pope has been a cardinal before being selected.
Most of the cardinals who choose the new Pope were chosen by Pope Francis. Therefore, it is believed that the new Pope will also be liberal and acceptance like Francis.
Prior to the conclave, Cardinals participated in general conferences.
Cardinals swear on privacy The first day of the conclave begins with a special prayer meeting. All cardinals are united in a room during prayer. In this, every cardinal gosples, ie, keep a hand on the holy book and swear that he will never disclose any information related to this election to anyone else.
The room is then closed and then the voting process begins in a secret manner. During the commencement of voting, each cardinal is given a ballot. He writes the name of the man on him, whom he wants to make the Pope.
They are then kept in a plate. After this, three officers count them. If a person gets a two-thirds majority, he is declared a new pope. This time, to become a Pope, you have to get 89 votes.
Cardinals took an oath of secrecy by placing their hands on Gospel (Holy Book).
Black-white smoke suggests or not If no one gets 89 votes, all the ballot will be burnt. During this time a special chemical will be added to the ballot, which will bring black smoke. Meaning of black smoke- no decision has been taken regarding the new Pope yet. White smoke comes out when the new pope is chosen.
Voting is held four times every day during the conclave. Two in the morning and two in the afternoon. If a candidate does not get a two-thirds majority, then the voting process is repeated.
If a candidate gets 89 votes, he will be asked if you accept to be selected as the Pope? After his approval, a new pope is announced from the balcony of St. Peter Basilica of Vatican. After this, the new Pope formally assumes the post.
Two temporary stoves have been installed specifically inside the cystine chapel. Voting paper will be lit in one stove, while smoke will come out of the other.
Why is two-thirds of the vote needed to become a pope? In the election of 1159, 2 pope were selected simultaneously. The large group of cardinals chose Cardinal Rollando as Pope Alexander-3. At the same time, the small group of cardinals chose Montseli as Pope Victor-4.
The Pope of the small group had the support of King Frederick Barbosa. In such a situation, Pope Alexander-3 had to spend most of the time outside Rome. At the same time, the low -support Pope remained frozen in Rome. The dispute ended only after the death of Pope Victor-4 in 1164.
Since then, changes have been made in the process of choosing the pope. A two-thirds majority have been needed for the Pope’s election, so there is maximum consensus between all the cardills. The voting process is repeated several times until one gets two-thirds of votes.
Even after three days of voting, no pope is chosen, then the voting stops for a day. Even after 33 rounds, if no one is selected, then under the new rule, there is a contest between the top-2 contenders.
Two elections for the new pope that lasts the longest
In the 13th century, the longest Pope was selected. Then there was voting for the Pope from November 1268 to September 1271. The real reason for such a long election was explained for internal discord and external intervention. From then on, voting started in the closed room.
The smallest conference so far was held in 1503, when it took just 10 hours to choose the Pope Picin Pope for the cardinals. The longest conference so far took nearly three years.
In 1268, the conference was held till 1271 for the successor of Pope Clement Fourth and then Pope Gregory X was selected.
The Pope’s election took 7 months in 1740. In the 21st century, there have been 2 Conclaves for the Pope’s election so far. In 2005, Pope Benedict was selected after four rounds of voting in 3 days and Pope Francis in 2013 after 5 rounds of voting in 2 days.
Many names are in discussion among the potential successors of this, including the Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagale of the Philippines, the Cardinal Peter Turkson from Africa, and the Italian Cardinal Mateo Juppi.
Pope Francis was elected the Pope in 2013, in the last 1000 years he was the first person who became the Pope despite being non -European.
