The conclave starts on Wednesday afternoon in the Sixtine Chapel. The successor of the late Pope Francis is voted there. What characteristics should the next pope bring? What qualifies a cardinal for this office?
Shortly before the pope election, an unexpected favorite causes a sensation: according to the Hungarian researchers, Canadian Cardinal Michael Czerny is surprisingly ahead. A special model that evaluates influence and coalition skills sees it as a key figure in the conclave. Czerny is considered a moderate and global properties that make it particularly interesting for the choice.
How long the choice lasts depends on when there is a majority of two thirds more for one of the candidates for the first time. This procedure has lasted more than 1000 days in history – more exactly two years, nine months and two days. In the 13th century, at the end, the cardinals were served alone water and bread – in the hope that hunger would accelerate the decision. This is no longer treated so drastically, but the cardinals still have to go without pizza, grappa and co. Even today during the Pope’s election.
