When the Apostolic See becomes vacant, the College of Cardinals meets in conclave to choose the next pontiff. According to a 1975 edict by Pope Paul VI, cardinals past the age of 80 cannot vote. Additionally, the total number of electors never exceeds 120. To be elected pope, one cardinal must receive more than two-thirds of the votes. If 30 elections have taken place without any one cardinal being elected, then the cardinals may elect by simple majority.
Voting is through silent ballot.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report. As I have stated a number of times, it will be a one world religion, run by the Catholic church. You can bury your head is the sand and hope it will go away, but it won't. This is a fact that you must accept, as the above article said all other religions are inferior. Keep in mind it was the Roman Catholic church which changed the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, or sun worship day.
