What time does the 2025 conclave start? See May 7 schedule
The sacred practice of naming a new pope is soon beginning as more than 130 cardinals arrive in Vatican City to participate in May 7's papal conclave. The selection process to replace Pope Francis will be done in secrecy via voting. Deriving its name from the Latin term cum clave, meaning "with a key," the completion of the conclave is famously signaled by plumes of smoke rising over the Vatican. Black smoke means voting is still in process, while white smoke means the new leader of the Catholic church has been chosen and has accepted his role. Pope Francis, the church's 266th pontiff, died on Easter Monday, April 21, from a stroke and heart failure at the age of 88. Known for his progressive ideals, it remains to be seen if the 267th pope will continue with Francis' reforms or veer down a more conservative and traditional path. There is no timeline for the decision − Pope Francis was chosen in one day in 2013, while the election of Pope Gregory X in 1271 took three years. Regardless, the ceremonies will begin on Wednesday, May 7. See how it works: From secret ballots to white smoke, here's how the papal conclave will elect a new pope May 7 conclave schedule Here's what we know so far about the concave schedule, according to the Vatican. 4 a.m. ET (10 a.m. Vatican time): Cardinals will gather for Mass 'Pro Eligendo Romano Pontefice' (Holy Mass for the Election of the Roman Pontiff) in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. 10:30 a.m. ET ( 4:30 p.m. Vatican time): The 133 cardinal electors will assemble in Pauline Chapel in the Apostolic Palace to pray the Litany of the Saints and then proceed to the Sistine Chapel. The cardinals then swear an oath to fulfill the Munus Petrinum (translated from Latin as the "office" or "mission" of Peter) if they are elected pope. The Master of Pontifical Liturgical Ceremonies then proclaims "extra omnes" (everyone out), ordering everyone not involved in the conclave to leave the Sistine Chapel. Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, Preacher Emeritus of the Papal Household, will deliver the second meditation to the cardinal electors, in the presence of the Master of Liturgical Ceremonies. Afterwards, Cardinal Cantalamessa and the Master of Liturgical Ceremonies will leave the chapel and voting begins. The first ballot will be cast Wednesday evening (Vatican time), May 7, according to Vatican News. Voting will then happen four times daily over the following days, twice in the morning and twice in the evening. Watch live coverage of conclave USA TODAY will stream coverage of the conclave on its YouTube channel, available here or at the embed below. The first day's livestream is scheduled to run from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 7. What is a papal conclave? A papal conclave is an election of a new pope conducted by the College of Cardinals − bishops and Vatican officials selected by the pope. The cardinals are tasked with voting for one of their colleagues to take over the role of pontiff. Of the 135 cardinals eligible to vote in this conclave, 133 will attend. Archbishops Antonio Cañizares and Vinko Puljić, both 79, will not be present due to health issues, according to the National Catholic Register and Catholic News Agency. For the actual election, the cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel, take an oath of secrecy and seal the church's doors. Each cardinal votes by secret ballot. He says a prayer and then drops his ballot in a large chalice, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. If one candidate does not receive a two-thirds majority vote, another election is held. This process is repeated until one candidate has received the necessary votes. The papal conclave follows the Easter Monday death of Pope Francis. More on how the conclave works Voting will continue until a new pope is elected via a two-thirds majority. There is no time limit for voting. When a new pope is elected and accepts his duties, the ballots are burned in a stove, signaling to the outside world that a new leader of the Roman Catholic Church has been chosen. If a consensus is not reached, the ballots are burned with chemicals to create black smoke, signaling that the voting process will continue. Over the centuries, it has taken hours, days, months and even years for a successor to be named.
