Voting over the start of dialing a new pope star-news.press/wp

On Wednesday night, below the Michelangelo’s Sykstin Chapel supply ceiling, 133 cardinal will vote for dialing 267. Pope Catholic Churches.

The day will start at 10:00 (09:00 BST) with a mass in the Basilica of St. Peter. The service, which will be television, will be chaired by Giovanni Battista Re, 91-year cardinal Dean, which was also the famous Pope Francis’ funeral.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the mobile signal within the territory of the Vatican will be deactivated to prevent anyone from participating in the specific side of the outer world.

Around 16:15 (15:15 BST), 133 cardinal voters will be gathered in the Pauline Chapel and form a procession in the Sistin Chapel.

As long as they will sing Litany and an anthem of the Veniator – a call in the Holy Spirit, which are considered a leading hand to help Cardinals choose a new Pope.

Once in the Sistin Chapel, one hand rests on the copy of the Gospel, the cardinals will pronounce the prescribed secrets that prevents them from ever sharing details about how new Pope was elected.

When the last of the voters took over the oath, meditation will be held. Then the master of the Pontificatory Liturgical celebration of Diego Ravelli will publish “extra omnes” (“All out”).

It is one of the three church staff allowed to stay in the Sistin Chapel despite the fact that it is not a cardinal voter, although they will have to leave the premises during the number of votes.

The moment “Extra Omnes” is pronounced assessed the beginning of the cardinal insulation – and the beginning of the conclap.

Word, which comes from Latin for “cum clave”, or “locked with key, is slightly misleading, because cardinals are no longer locked in; Instead, in Tuesday, Vatican officials have closed the entrances to the apostolic palace – which includes a system chapel – with lead seals that will remain until the end of the proceedings. Swiss guards will also arrive all the entrances to the chapel.

Diego Ravelli will distribute voting papers, and the cardinals will cross to the first vote soon after.

Although nothing prohibits the pope choosing with the first voice, it did not happen in centuries. However, this first ballot is very important, says Austen Ivereigh, Catholic writer and a commentator.

“Cardinals who have more than 20 votes will be taken into account. In the first voting, the votes will be very scattered and voters know that they must concentrate on those who have numbers,” Ivereigh says.

He adds that every other messenger will then indicate which of the cardinals he has momentum. “It’s almost like a political campaign … but it’s not exactly the competition; it’s the body’s effort to find a consensus.”

If the voice does not bring two third majority needed to choose a new Pope, the cardinal returns to the Casa Santa Marta Pension for dinner. It is then, on the margins of the voting process, that important conversations among cardinals take place and consensus begins to bite around different names.

According to Italian media, the menu options consist of easy dishes that are usually served to guests of residence and includes wine – but they have no ghosts. Waiters and kitchen staff are also sworn in secrecy and cannot leave the basis for the duration of the conclap.

From Thursday morning, cardinals will take breakfast between 06:30 (05:30 BST) and 07:30 (06:30 BST) in front of the mass at 08:15 (07:15 BST). Two votes are then take place in the morning and follows lunch and rest. In his memoirs, Pope Francis said that when he began to receive signals from other cardinals that a serious consensus began to form around him; He was chosen for the first afternoon votes. The last two conclusions were concluded by the end of the second day.

At this stage, there is no way if this will be a debt or a short conclusion – but cardinals are aware that it would draw the proceedings to which it can be interpreted as a sign of disagreement.

As they talk, they pray and vote, outside loading the window of the Sikstine Chapel thousand faiths look at the chimney from the right of the Holy Peter Basilo, waiting for the smoke shower.
