The Cardinals of the Congolame, which starts on May 7 in the Vatican, want to choose a new grandfather as soon as possible to preserve the church of unity and stability of the Church after the death of Pope Francis.
The last two grandparents' elections (Benedict in 2013, in 2013, Francis) ended in just two days. This is considered a sign of unity. On the other hand, delays can indicate disagreements and disagreements about the Church's future.
The conclave will be held in the Sikstinian Corporation, where secret ballots are held in four stages per day. If a decision is not made in three days, a one-day break is planned for prayer and meditation. The most mentioned candidates are the Italian Pietro Parole and Luis Antonio, but many cardinals will take part in the election, and the voting process can open the field for unexpected candidates.
If the choice is delayed, it may occur in "great voters", influential cardinals that will try to unite the votes around a convenient compromise candidate.
It is forbidden to talk about the course of the votes, history has shown that many details appear after the election. The cardinals hope that the result will bring clarity and consolidation as the previous twice. "If we don't even see white smoke at the end of the third day, they will start worrying seriously," said Thomas Riss.
