💨 Abstract

Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, passed away at the age of 88. The Vatican initiated a centuries-old process to elect a successor, involving cardinals voting in secrecy inside the Sistine Chapel. The cardinals, aged under 80 and numbering no more than 120, will elect a new pope with a two-thirds majority, as stipulated by Pope Benedict XVI.
