Pope Francis no longer exists. He died in the Vatican on Monday morning at the age of 88.
His death has once again increased interest in the process that leads to the choice of a Pope …
The Pope, leader of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Rome, is chosen through a centenary process known as the papal conclave.
After the resignation or death of the Pope, the Roman Catholic cardinals around the world are locked in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican to choose their successor in a secret and highly symbolic process.
Only cardinals under 80 are eligible to vote in the process.
