Vatican firefighters prepared a chimney on the Sistine Chapel, which will announce the result of the conclave of the beginning of 7 May.
In the Vatican on Friday, preparations for the upcoming Conclave continue, where the Cardinals will elect the successor of the deceased Pope Francis. Vatican firefighters have already erected a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel, which the cardinals after the choice through the white or black smoke of the world will announce whether they have chosen or chose a new Pope. According to the AP report, TASR reports this.
Conclave will begin on Wednesday, May 7. Traditionally, the results of the Cardinal Choice will be announced by the surrounding world through Piecky, in which they burn ballots with added chemicals. They determine the color of the smoke – black or white.
The mechanism of notification of results
In the event of an unsuccessful option, potassium chloristan, anthracene and sulfur are mixed to the ballot, creating black smoke. If you manage to choose a new pontifica, the ballot polls are mixed with potassium chlorecnan, lactose and chloroform resin, causing white smoke coloring.
The first day the cardinals will vote in only one round. In the following days, the results will announce in the morning and afternoon after every two rounds of the election.
Any baptized Catholic can become the Pope, but it is practically always someone from the Cardinal Corps. Any cardinal who was less than 80 years old at the time of the death of the previous Pope can vote. A two -thirds majority of votes is needed to select.
