Explained: How The Next Pope Will Be Chosen | Connecting The Dots

On May 7, 135 cardinals under the age of 80 will enter the Sistine Chapel and begin the secretive conclave process to elect the next pope following the death of Pope Francis. The conclave—steeped in centuries-old tradition—requires cardinals to vote in isolation, cut off from all external communication, until a two-thirds plus one majority selects a new pontiff. While the first day rarely yields a decision, voting proceeds twice daily, with black or white smoke signaling the outcome. Strong contenders include Cardinals Pietro Parolin, Peter Erdo, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Luis Antonio Tagle, and several African candidates, reflecting the Church’s growing diversity. The election is framed by prayer, global anticipation, and even unexpected political distractions, such as a controversial AI-generated image of former U.S. President Donald Trump dressed as the pope—the faithful watch for white smoke to signal the arrival of the Church's new leader. #pope #popeelection #popefrancis #vatican #vaticancity #thechurch #catholic #catholicchurch #vaticanchurch #trump #donaldtrump #trumpnews #christianity #christian #christians #religion #romancatholic #christ #christianfaith #sistinechapel #papalconclave #PietroParolin #PeterErdo #PierbattistaPizzaballa #LuisAntonioTagle #Basilica #PapalBasilicaofSaintMaryMajor pope, pope election, pope francis, vatican, vatican city, the church, catholic, catholic church, vatican church, trump, donald trump, trump news, christianity, christian, christians, religion, roman catholic, christ, christian faith, Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major About Connecting The Dots: Decode the issues that matter to the world.
