His replacement becomes the leader of the Roman Catholic Church – the supreme chief.

Only those under 80 have the right to vote for the new pope.
The number of these « cardinal electrics » is usually reduced to 120, but there are currently 138 people who have the right to choose a new pope. (Pope FRANCE has appointed 21 new cardinals in December 2024. years)
How do Cardinals choose a new pope?
When a new pope is barga, all cardinals are invited to Vatican, in Rome, to the Papa conclave.
It is an electoral process that is maintained, almost unchanged, some 800 years.
On the first day of the conclave, he holds Mass (Christian Service) in the Basilica of St. Peter.
Then they gather in the Vatican Sicstin chapel.
The « Extra Omnes » command (in Latin: « Everyone out there is issued there.
From then on, all cardinals remain inside the Vatican until the new pop is elected. (The word « conclave » means « under the key ».)
Cardinal Etrols have the option that the original voting was performed in the Sikstinska Kapeli on the first day of the conclave.
Since the second day, two votes of each morning, and two votes each afternoon, as long as the number of candidates for the Pope are held in one.
During the voting, each cardinal elector prints the name of the preferred candidate on the ballots below the word « Elligio in Summum Pontific », which in Latin means « I choose for the Supreme Chief ».
In order for the ballots other secrets, the cardinals are ordered not to serve the usual manuscript.
If there are no decisive votes by the end of the second day, the third day is given prayer and contemplation, without voting.
Elections continue normally after that.
The candidate needs a two-thirds majority of cardinal elektra to be elected Pope.
The process can take several days or, sometimes, a few weeks.
What happens inside the Papa Conclave?
The conclave is maintained in strict insulation.
Cardinals must not leave the Vatican, nor should they listen to the radio, watch television, reading newspapers or contacting anyone from the outside world.
Nikom is not allowed access to cardinal chambers by the staff to keep households, doctors and priests who listen to their confessions.
They all resented secrecy.
Between voting, cardinals (and electors, and those who are too old voting) are spending time discussing relative mortality of candidates.
No one is allowed to lead an open campaign.
The Vatican claims that Cardinals are managed by the Holy Spirit.
Despite this, the process of acquiring support for this or that candidate is considered very political.
Twice every day during the conclave, used ballots with burns, and people in front of the Vatican can see smoke from them as it goes out on the chimney of the Sikstinska chapel.
A black or white paint is placed on papers.
Black smoke means a failed voting; The white smoke indicates that the new Pope is selected.
What happens when the Pope is selected?
Once he won the voices, the new pope asks, « Do they accept the canonical choice for the supreme chief? »
He chooses the name after he wants to be known as the Pope and covers official mantia.
Cardinals give him respect and swear to him obedience.
The masses amount to a statement from the Balcony of the Basilica of St. Peter in which the words are used: « Habemus Papam », which means in Latin, « We have a pope. »
A new pope name is disclosed and man appears in person.
He is short to address the people and gives the traditional blessing of the « URBI ET ORBI » – in the Latin « city and the world ».
Later, the Pope show the results of each voting circle in the conclawa.
They are then sealed and disposed of in the Vatican archive, and can be opened only on the Pope’s request.
