This Wednesday is the conclave, this ancient Pope election ceremony. In the conversations and meetings, it is increasingly crystallizing what requirements are placed on the Pontifex. And who could be.
In Santa Marta, the square is scarce. Because the late Francis has appointed so many new cardinals, 133 now, as actually intended, take part in the conclave, and they are entitled to accommodation in the guest house of the Vatican. The Pope's Day, in which Francis lived and lived, is still sealed. There must therefore also be rooms in Alt-Santa Marta, the adjacent building. Because the quality of the rooms is different, the lot decided who can move in where. The first papal voters have taken their rooms since Tuesday morning.
