‘Tension in the air’: Secretive conclave to elect new Pope begins Wednesday

Final preparations are underway for the conclave, the secretive process where the College of Cardinals sequester at the Vatican to vote on who will be the next Pope.

The centuries-old tradition begins Wednesday. Beginning at 9:30 a.m. Chicago time, 133 cardinals will gather inside the Sistine Chapel and lock the doors to host their first and only vote of the day. Voting sessions on subsequent days, should they be needed, will occur regularly in the morning and afternoon until a pope is selected, by a two-thirds majority.
