On February 14, the shadow of the conference is weighing on Pope Francis since the day when the hospital was admitted to the hospital, which was its worst epiloc, on April 21. The death of George Mario Bergoglio opens from the church to his successor, which will end with the famous announcement of St. Peter’s Basilica’s Central Logia:“We have a pope“.
But what happens before the first of the Cardinals of the Decons Order is, what happens before the Cardinal is pronounced?
Constave is a process that has been rooted in thousands of Catholic Church, but has been undergoing some changes for centuries to respond to the demands of modern times. It has promoted many films that depict personal competitions and political tensions in the Pope’s election, based on the most recent Thriller Concordev, Robert Harris’s Hommanus novel, he won the Oscar.
This is why it is called conference??
Let’s start with the etymology of the word: it is the first time this is referred to the conference (From the Latin language “Gum clave“, Ie, ie,In fact, the key is) Popez’s election is in 1274, although its appearance is in a chapter a few years ago.
In the 1270s, the cardinals in the election of a new pope undoubtedly tired, and then the pope thirsty, then we closed us (“Closed with the keys“) The city’s Archbaspal is forced to quickly determine them in the palace’s atrium. However, this action has not been very successful: it has lasted about three years, which was the longest in church history. In the end, Gregory X was chosen.Where the risk“: This document introduced the compulsory isolation of the cardinals, officially established the convention and established strict rules, and then they were changed over time.
How the conference works
Although certain rules are now relaxed, the conference is a practice marked by precise moments. In fact, this leads to the election of the new leader of the Catholic Church, but the new state head of the Vatican.
Within 15 to 20 days of death, the Cardinal College Dean, Cardinal Geovani Batista, summoned 91 to Rome to choose the cardinals. A new Bondiff’s election is appointed as “empty thirst”: during this period, the Cardinian College maintains the general supervision of the Church, but cannot make important decisions.
Not The day when the conference beginsCardinals meet for the mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican To choose the Roman popeOr “for the election”. The first day is mainly dedicated to the prayer, and the cardinals at the end of the procession to the Sistine Chapel, where the referendum is made. The master of bolty -laws, Mansinor Diego Jiooni Raveli, pronounces “Extra Omnes”, “Out All”. The rules for voting and the general development of the conference are all in the Apostolic Constitution “Dominic of the flock“, Published by John Paul II in 1996 and updated with Pento XVI June 11, 2007 and the latest February 22, 2013.
Once the Celebrated New “Final Judgment” is celebrated, the cardinals must take a Latin truth, which is honored for the official language of the Vatican, the honor of the Apostolic Constitution of the Vatican, not revealing what is happening in prolonged meetings and the commitment to play the role of Papa if they are elected.
During the convention, the cardinals could not have any connection with the outside world, and everyone lives in the house of Santa Marda, which was built by the orders of John Paul, to change the advanced shelter in the Pope’s Palace. From St. Martha, Santa is located near the Santa Marta Chappell within the city of Vatican, which is a residence selected by Pope Francis. In fact, Bergoglio does not live in the traditional apostle palace, likes his predecessors, like a simple style, and is close to the people.
Conference votes
Only the “voters” cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel, ie 80 years of age, now 138.
Selecting a new pope requires two -thirds majority. Cardinals cannot leave the conference, except for the exception of the expansion of the election process and compromising from the outside.
Cardinals secretly vote and write the name of something selected in the voting report. After each vote, the voting newsletters are burned in an oven, and with a combination of creating a color, the chimney is released by a chimney, which can be seen from St. Peter’s Square, where loyalists and audiences come together. If a vote ends without a majority of two -thirds, the smoke is black; When you reach a decision, it is white.
After the 33rd or 34th votes, there is a direct and compulsory study between the two most voted cardinals in the last votes. However, even in this case, a two -thirds majority will always be needed. The remaining two cardinals should not be actively participating in the referendum. If two -thirds of the voter votes reach a candidate, the Pope’s election is valid. During this time, Cardinals call the Master and Cardinal College Secretary of the Order of the Order of Liturgy Celebration. Teen, sub -econls or cardinals address the first cardinal of the bishops, states in Latin: “Do you accumulate your election -appointed election among the highest papals?“(Did you accept your nomination election as a high papal?) If so, says more: “Which name do you want to call?? (How do you want to call you?), The newborn asks what will respond with its boltipical name.
White smoke
After accepting, the voting newsletters are burned in an oven so that the classic white smoke can be found from St. Peters Square. At the end of the convention, the new pope is taken to the “tears room”, which means that Systain Chapel’s Soctristi must wear the papal clothing for the first time, with which he appears in public in the logia of St. Peter’s Basilica. The name of the Sacrasty is obtained from the tears of the pope’s emotion and the weight of the role of the role.
AdvertisementTraditionally, the Pope’s check is made in a timely manner in three different sizes.
After prayer for the new Bondif and the tribute to the cardinals, “De Diyam” is sung, which indicates the end of the conference. The notification of the election arises from the Cardinal Protodiano, which arises from the Central Logia of St. Peters Basilica and pronounces the “Habemus poppam” or “we have the Pope.”
The new Pope will provide a unique blessing called “Arbi Ed RP” before the crucifixion.
