💨 Abstract

The Associated Press announced the death of Pope Francis. The selection of his successor will occur in a conclave, where cardinals, known as "papabile," will vote for the next pope. To be elected, a candidate must receive at least two-thirds of the vote from eligible cardinals under 80 years old. This process, considered divine, is the election of Christ's Vicar on Earth by the princes of the church.
