It takes place at the Vatican of course. A group of Cardinals vote on a potential new pope. A new pope needs 2/3 of the vote (I think.) At the end of each day of voting, either black or white smoke is sent up from the Vatican. Black smoke maens that they don't have a new pope chosen, white means that they do.
That's what I remember from Catholic High School(and being 5 years old when John Paul II was selected,) I could be missing a few aspects.

Interesting article. Essentially before Oct. 16, 70/109 people have to agree on the pope for someone to be elected. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the Vatican, but I'm guessing there's a frontrunner out of the group of Cardinals. | The Thrill

There have already been several African popes, though none since Gelasius I who reigned until November 21, 496 AD. | pieman

I believe the Pope would say the end of the beginning.
Although I didn't agree with some of his views, he was a man of great courage, conviction, and to be greatly admired.
As a non-Catholic, I pray for both the Pope and those who must choose his successor to do so wisely. | El Nastio

| #15 Posted on 1.4.05 1255.38 Reposted on: 1.4.12 1258.23 | I find it oddly coincidental that the Pope and Frank Perdue died on the same day.
It reminds me of the story of when the two of them met years ago. Frank Perdue had offered to contribute $50 million to the church if the Pope would agree to slightly change the words to the Lord's prayer to "give us this day our daily chicken" The pontiff told him, sorry, no can do. Perdue, being the shrewd businessman, increased his offer to $100 million, and again was turned down, and then turned down again at $500 million.
One morning shortly thereafter, the Pope gathered his cardinals together, and announced he had some good news and some bad news. The good news was, the Church would be accepting a billion dollar donation from Mr. Perdue. The bad news was, they were going to lose the Wonder Bread account.
Rest in Peace, JP2 and chicken man.

To follow up, Annointing of the Sick is given to anyone suffering health problems, so it's not an indication that someone is even necessarily near death. What was more telling was that the Pope received Holy Viaticum, which is communion given to those in the most serious of conditions. Only someone truly on death's doorstep would receive Holy Viaticum. | redsoxnation

| #20 Posted on 2.4.05 1147.54 Reposted on: 2.4.12 1148.32 | PopeWatch '05 Continues. If there was a good thing about Ronald Reagan having alzheimers and being a recluse the last years of his life, at least it meant there was no ReaganWatch '04 coverage before his death. At the rate cable 'news' is going through guests, one producer at some point is going to combine the Pope being Polish and the hammer being used to determine his death as justification for the Ivan Putski to appear to discuss his use of the 'Polish Hammer'. And, if the Pope dies late Sunday afternoon, does Vince use the death of the Pope as an excuse if Mania's buyrate is low? |
