Choose the name, the tears hall … everything that happens since the selection of the Pope’s cardinal until it is received from the balcony
Waiting for white smoke. And so millions of Catholics in the world And with them today. at present , On the roof of San Pedro there is already smoking (One on Thursday morning) that was seen and two blacks. At the present time, there is no consensus; There is no potato. Cardinals 133 who meet in the Sistin Church have another vote for this day.
White Fumata is a sign that the new Pope has been chosen. After Cardinal receives at least two -thirds of the votes (this time, at least 89), You should accept your choice and choose your papal name. Then electoral voting cards are burned in the stove with the materials that produce the required white smoke.
Why do you choose potatoes as another name?
Pope can keep his name if he wants. In fact, most of them did during a thousand years of the Catholic Church, account Religion in freedom. However, since 996, only two of 170 potatoes have preserved the name of their birth when they were selected: Adriano VI (1522-1523) and Marcelo II (1555). The first to change is Juan II (533-535), which was called mercury. Pontiff is considered that the name of pagan deity was not the most appropriate. Indeed in 1009, Sergio IV created his name change base.
“The first act of a man coincides with the pattern of subsequent persons,” Morris West books in “Al -Sayyad’s shoes”
The issue has its meaning and importance. “When the new Pope chooses his name, everyone will seek the agendas and inheritance of its predecessors, and if Pontificate was characterized by a change in the direction of the church,” Ralph Kane, historian of religion and the dean of the College of Honor at the University of Illinois (USA), told him,,,, To the gate The National Catholic Registry. Maurice West has already left it Hunter shoes, The novel in which the papal option is narrated: “The first act of a man represents a pattern later.”
For example, If the new Pope chooses to be called Francisco II He would announce continuity regarding Bergolio’s message. If on the contrary, choose Written by the seventeenth Benedict or Juan Pablo III It will implicitly mean that his passion will be a return to the Orthodoxy, and implicitly, he will question the changes that Francisco promotes.
The latest names
In 1978, John Paul II was believed to have chosen the papal name of Tamrislao, in honor of the Bishop and the Polish martyr in the eleventh century. But he ended up choosing John Paul II to honor his predecessor, who barely occupied the papal chair 33 days. In 2005, to explain his choice, Pordek XVI mentioned the fifteenth Benedict (1914-1922) and San Benito, the founder of West Monacato in the seventh century. In 2013, Francisco was martyred as an inspiration for the tongue of Francisco de Asis.

If one of the diverse 133 gets at least 89 votes, and he accepts and connects his papal name, then he opens A small period until it looks To the central balcony of Plaza de San Pedro.
In the final ruling wall of the Sistin Church, on both sides of the altar, there are two small doors. One on the left leads to It is called “Tears Hall”.
