The Vatican closed the Sistin Church regarding the start of the preparation for elegance, which will choose the next Pope after the death of Pope Francis, who died on April 21 at the age of 88. It is scheduled to be the beginning of the flavor, but on May 7.
The date was determined during the closed meeting of the Crozine, as it was explained in the Vatican.
Francis was buried on Saturday in Bazilica Pabal Santa Maria Majur. The memorial block in St. Peter Square collected world leaders and hundreds of thousands of mourners. The mourning passes for nine days to the official start of the group.
The Church has already been drawn to the preparation of the Sistin Church for the Cardino meeting who will be collected in the heart of the Vatican in order to choose a new leader of the Catholic Church, with 1.4 billion followers.
Among the main tasks – the installation of a chimney through which traditional smoke signals – black or white – announce the results of the vote.
Tourists who managed to see the Sistine chapel on Sunday believe that they were lucky, due to the uncertainty about the time when the church will remain closed to the public.
According to the Apostolic Constitution, Conclave can only start after the end of mourning for nine days.
When the time comes, the Cardinals who wear a red worshiper cloak will enter the chapel and participate in the secret process, which, according to the legend, will be directed by the Holy Spirit.
For the first time in the history of the church European Cardinals will not form the majority On the flavor.
Of the 135 Cardinals under the age of 80, which, according to the Apostolic Constitution, can participate in Conclave 108 in Francis.
Europe’s share will receive 39.2 % of the Cardinate-players compared to 52 % in 2013.
Their choice will be shown whether the church will continue to follow the path of reforming Pope Francis, while paying special attention to the poor, environment and social justice, or will return to the direction of a more ideological conservative similar to the Papukat VI
The background of the meetings will be the Sistin Church, full of masterpieces of Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists.
At the beginning of Konkalaf, the Cardinate Litania will pronounce the saints – the official Gregorian chant, called for the intercession of the saints – and will take the right to keep a secret.
After that, the doors of the church will be closed, and the Master “Omnes Extra” (all of this to go out) will declare, which will start the beginning of the vote.
The secret of the flavor is designed to protect the elections from external pressure.
Black smoke, which rises from the tube, will indicate an ineffective vote, and the white smoke and the bells will confirm the election of a new father. It can pass every day from the flavor 4 rounds of voting.
