The Vatican is preparing for the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Francis, involving 133 cardinals from 70 countries. This conclave is notable for its geographical diversity and the inclusion of younger cardinals from marginalized nations. The process begins with a Mass in St Peter's Basilica, followed by a solemn entry into the Sistine Chapel where cardinals will vote in secrecy. The voting procedure is strict, with ballots burned to signal the outcome. While a short conclave is expected, history suggests it may take several rounds of voting to elect a new pope.
