What happens when Pope Francis dies - and how the next pope is chosen

Daily Mail
By HARRY HOWARD
25 February 2025



With Pope Francis remaining in a critical condition in hospital, millions of Catholics are praying that he will recover.

The Vatican offered hope today by saying there has been a 'slight improvement' in the condition of the Pontiff, who was admitted on Valentine's Day with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs.

But the plight of the Argentine has prompted discussion about what will happen when the worst news does come.

After the death of a pope, their funeral will take place a maximum of six days later, during which time their body lies in state in St Peter's Basilica.

The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days from the day of the pope's passing.

The Vatican Chamberlain, currently Cardinal Kevin Farrell, will first certify officially that the Pope is dead by calling his name three times at his bedside.

The Pope's office and private apartments will be sealed and the papal fisherman's ring removed from his finger and broken with a hammer.

The body of the Pope will then be dressed in red robes with a white mitre on his head, and he will be taken to St Peter's Basilica to lie in state for three days.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have been told to see the movie "Conclave" which explains this.

It's so good it is a serious Oscar contender.

Surprised the environmental faction hasn't chastised the Church for smoke pollution.

True but you know the kindling is under the clean-burn logs.

bot commenting on the movie ‘Conclave’, but when was the last time a movie…or actor had to be good to be an Oscar contender, serious or otherwise?

My wife’s niece was a member of SAG for a while and I remember that she would get a copy of all the movies to watch and then she was to vote, trust me she was not anyone with critical thinking skills and discernment.

Having Bill Engvall doing a running commentary of the Vatican voting would be awesome, just imagine when the smoke appears, him announcing it with ‘Here’s your sign’! 😁

Or the late great Norm MacDonald.  Can you imagine the progression of hilarious  Non-Sequitur-ic comments.

I would also recommend seeing The Shoes of the Fisherman with Anthony Quinn.

Conclave is repotedly closer to the truth but TSOTF is closer to the ideal.
