Diocese of Owensboro breaks down what happens during a conclave
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — Parishioners in Owensboro are mourning the passing of Pope Francis. And others are wondering what's next. The Diocese of Owensboro is hard at work planning a 'Mass for the Soul of Pope Francis' at St. Stephen Cathedral. The mass will be celebrated by Bishop William Medley, as well as other priests in the diocese. Bishop Medley says although the mass is a heavy occasion; it's another opportunity for prayer to remember the Pope. He says following the funeral, the church will observe nine days of mourning before a private vote is held to elect the next pope through a meeting known as a conclave. Conclaves have been around for centuries and are described as one of the world's most secretive events. Over 100 cardinals are sequestered in the halls of the Vatican as they participate in the selection of a new pope. This year, the Academy-award winning film 'Conclave' has gained traction on social media following the death of Pope Francis. The political thriller features a cardinal investigating secrets and scandals about major candidates during their sequester. Bishop Medley has seen the movie and reiterates that although there are accuracies in the film, audiences should be reminded that the story is not a historical account. As for gearing up for the next pope, Bishop Medley says it's important for those curious to be prepared for anything. He says Pope Francis was not initially on anyone's shortlist prior to the conclave and that the next pope could be someone that we've never heard of before. Although the anticipation for the next pope is rising, many are still mourning the loss of Pope Francis. The memorial mass in Owensboro is set for Friday, April 25 at noon. Pope Francis' funeral can also be seen live on ABC 25 on Saturday at 2:30 a.m.. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
