💨 Abstract

Upon Pope Francis' death at 88, a centuries-old ritual commences for the election of his successor. This process involves sacred oaths, ballot piercing, and smoke signals to indicate the selection of a new leader for the world's 1.3 billion Catholics. The conclave, a secretive gathering of cardinals, will take place in the Sistine Chapel, under Michelangelo's frescoed ceiling.
