How the Catholic Church Will Pick a New Pope – and Who Might Be Next
(Chuck Muth) – With the passing of Pope Francis, the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics are watching closely as the Church prepares to choose its next leader.
If you’ve ever wondered how a new pope is picked—or who might get the job this time—here’s a simple breakdown of what’s happening at the Vatican, why it matters, and what it could mean for Catholics who value tradition.
What Happens When a Pope Dies?
When a pope dies, the Catholic Church follows a set of traditions that go back hundreds of years.
First, there’s a period of mourning, including a funeral and special prayers.
Then, the Church gets ready for what’s called a conclave—that’s just a fancy word for a secret meeting where the cardinals (the Church’s top leaders) gather to pick a new pope.
Only cardinals under 80 years old get to vote.
This time, there are 135 of them. They come from all over the world, but a lot of them were picked by Pope Francis himself, which could influence what kind of leader comes next.
