Vatican City - Vatican City (AP) - A conference is an election for a centuries-old pope whose name comes from the Italian “Con Clave” (with keys) to emphasize that the cardinals are isolated until they find the winner.

The liturgical master said the word “extra omnes” in the Latin word “go all out”, demanding that the cardinal have no contact with the outside world, demanding “go all out”, and asking everyone except the cardinal voters leave the Sistine Church to begin the voting process.

Between the two votes, the Cardinal will stay at the Domus Santa Marta Hotel in the Vatican city, and possibly the nearby Vatican residences, as the Cardinal adviser has more than Santa Marta Hotel Rooms.

The conclusion starts on the afternoon of May 7th.

The day begins with the Mass celebrated by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re in the morning.

In the afternoon, the Cardinal joined Sistine Church and sat down. The pastor meditates and the cardinal is sworn in. After "Extra omnes", the meeting begins.

Unless there are any rare questions or issues, the Cardinal voted on the afternoon of May 7, seeking a two-thirds majority. If they can’t find a winner in the first vote, they will retire at night and return to Sistine Church the next morning.

They can make up to two votes every morning and two votes every afternoon until they win the winner.

Only cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote. Current regulations conceptually limit the number of electors to 120, but the pope often exceeds that limit, with 135 now meeting the criteria.

Cardinals over 80 cannot vote but can attend pre-critical meetings, called general congregations, discussing the church issues. It was in these meetings in 2013 that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, then-Jorge Mario Bergoglio, spoke about the necessity of the church to go to the “peripheral of existence” to find the suffering people – a ready-made speech that helped his election.

St. John Paul II rewrites the statute on the election of the pope in a 1996 document, which is still in effect today, despite the two amendments made by Pope Benedict XVI before his resignation.

Francis did not bring any changes into the scope of the conference, although it would certainly feel that his influence would certainly be considered 108 of the 135 Cardinals who were eligible to vote.

The most significant change in Benedict's original document of 1996 was the exclusion of the possibility that a simple majority of the vote would be elected by the pope if it were mastered. Benedict ordered that no matter how long it takes, it always takes two-thirds of the majority. He did this to prevent the Cardinal from sticking with the 12 days that John Paul foresees and then pushing for the candidate with a slim majority.

If the conclusion lasts so long, the top two voters will enter runoff, with two-thirds of the majority required to win. Neither of the first two candidates voted in runoff.

Any baptized Catholic male is eligible to become a pope, but since 1378 only cardinals have been chosen. Even if they can't vote in the room, they can elect a cardinal over 80.

Francis and Popes maintained a ban on women as pastors before him, which prevented them from becoming popes. Under Catholic teachings, the priesthood is reserved for men, because Christ only chose men as his 12 apostles. The teaching is considered divine inspiration and absolutely reliable.

Benedict tightened his confidentiality vows at the meeting, making it clear that anyone who reveals what is happening inside will be automatically deported.

In John Paul's rules, pioneering is always possible, but Benedict revised the liturgical assistant and secretary with a clear oath that they must observe "absolute and permanent confidentiality" and explicitly avoid any audio or video recording equipment.

They now declare, "I am fully aware that its violations will be punished by the automatic deportation of the apostles. So, help me God and these holy gospels, which I touch with my hands."

After the votes are pierced, they are burned in the cylinder furnace at the end of the voting meeting. The black smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Church means there is no decision. The white smoke signal marked the Cardinal's choice of the pope, which he had accepted.

Add chemical cartridges to ensure there is no confusion in color. To produce black smoke, a cartridge containing potassium perchlorate, anthracene (the component of coal tar) and sulfur are burned by the ballot. For white smoke, potassium chlorate, lactose and chloroform resin cartridges are burned by the ballot.

The bells were also pounded to prompt the Pope's election for further clarity.

The new pope was introduced from loggia, overlooking St. Peter's Square, which read "Habemus Papam!". ("We have a pope!") and the name of the pope he chose. Then the new pope appeared and gave him his first blessing.
