What to Know About the Conclave to Choose Pope Francis’ Successor
Francis’ successor will be selected by cardinals at the conclave that begins on May 7. Cardinals, known as the “princes of the church,” rank just below the pope in the Roman Catholic Church; together, they are known as the College of Cardinals. When a pope dies, the college chooses a successor.
Conclave: How a new pope is chosen
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI following the death of Pope John Paul II. The new leader of the Catholic Church was elected after four ballots of the papal conclave. The late Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor was one of 115 cardinals who took part.
The College of Cardinals held its 12th general congregation on Tuesday, where Pope Francis’ ring fisherman’s ring was officially destroyed.
