The Cardinals of the Catholic Church began the work of the closed assembly during the day in the midst of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. At the event, they will focus on the selection of a new pope, after the previous Pope Benedict XVI resigned from the papacy in 2013. The assembly, known as a conclave, is held in strict secrecy, allowing participants to freely discuss all aspects and choose a new head of the Catholic Church. The process of selecting a new pontiff begins with the famous white smoke, which rises from the chapel when the cardinals proclaim and reach unanimity on the new pope. Over the next few days, the world will be presented with a new head of the Catholic Church, who will lead it and be a spiritual leader for millions of Catholics around the globe. At the conclave, cardinals from around the world gather to make an important decision that will affect the future of the Catholic Church. Meanwhile, believers are waiting for the long-anticipated appearance of the white smoke, which will signify the conclusion of the voting and the new pope, who will lead the church in the coming years.
