This is where the Pope lives...
St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City
The entire country = 0.2 square miles
Population = less than 1,000 people
![Page 5: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This is his house...
Called the Apostolic Palace
![Page 6: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vatican City is it’s own separate country
within Italy
The Pope is the leader of
his own country.

When a Pope dies, a few things happen:
•The Camerlengo gently strikes the Pope’s head three times with a silver hammer.
•Then the Camerlengo calls out his Christian (not Papal) name three times.
•Once the Pope is declared dead, the Camerlengo takes his ring and papal seal and destroys them.
•The Pope is buried within four to six days of his death.
•There is a nine day period of mourning.
•The voting for a new Pope begins fifteen days after his death.

Fifteen days after the Pope dies…
The Dean of the College of Cardinals summons all of the Cardinals in the world to Vatican City
![Page 14: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Including...
…and 10 other Cardinals from the United States
His Eminence Cardinal Roger Mahoney, Los Angeles, CA
![Page 15: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Cardinals meet in a “Conclave”
...inside of the Sistine Chapel
Conclave = “with a key”
![Page 16: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Very few people other than the cardinals are
allowed inside the chapel (doctors,
service staff, etc.)
Eavesdropping on the conclave = EXCOMMUNICATION
Swept for bugs, cameras and microphones AND PRESS REPORTERS (disguising themselves!!!)
![Page 18: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Cardinals can vote for any other Cardinal...
...or any Catholic Bishop...
...or any Catholic priest or deacon...
...or any Catholic LAYMAN!
![Page 19: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The only “requirement” to be Pope is that you have to be an unmarried, Catholic male who has reached the
age of reason (7 years old)
![Page 20: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The last non-Cardinal to be elected Pope was Pope Urban VI in 1378 (he
was an archbishop)
![Page 21: The Pope is the leader of the global Catholic Church... …and also the Bishop of Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649e4d5503460f94b42b7b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Cardinals gather in prayer and cast anonymous ballots
The votes are burned immediately after they’re counted.

Black Smoke = STILL VOTING
White Smoke = WE HAVE A NEW POPE!
(Bells also ring)

When the Cardinal receives 2/3 + one votes...
“Do you accept the nomination?”
“By what name are you to be addressed?”
Pope John II was the first to change his name (from Mercury)
