Tuesday, 115 cardinals from 69 countries began the Papal Conclave -- or Papal Election -- at the Vatican. Black smoke emerged from the chimney at the Sistine Chapel, signaling that no pope from the secret voting.John Paul II changed the rules of the Conclave so a Pope could be elected by simple majority.
But Benedict XVI changed the requirements back so that a two-thirds majority is required, meaning the man elected is likely to be a compromise candidate.
Before the voting begins in the Sistine Chapel, the entire area is checked by security experts to ensure there are no hidden microphones or cameras.
Each voter (the Cardinals under the age of 80) vote for a single person. If a person obtains at least 2/3 of the vote, he is elected. If this is not the case, a new election is organized until a person reaches the threshold (4 votes may be held Wednesday). These successive elections are perfectly identical. In the absence of a 2/3 majority, it is thus necessary for some cardinals change their vote (in order from someone to be elected). It is worth noting that there are no official candidates and the cardinals may vote for whoever they want.
Here's a breakdown and protocol of a hypothetical papal vote:
Example -- There are 5 voters and 3 candidates (A,B and C). The distribution of the votes of the first election is as follows:
- Voter 1 -- A
- Voter 2 -- A
- Voter 3 -- B
- Voter 4 -- B
- Voter 5 -- C
- Voter 1 -- A
- Voter 2 -- A
- Voter 3 -- A
- Voter 4 -- A
- Voter 5 -- C
BBC's Conclave: How cardinals elect a pope

Any thoughts about the choice of pope and his choice of name? Pope Francis I from Argentina. Personally, I'm hoping it may be a signal for some papal change... but who knows.
One thing I found really interesting was the comments section on the BBC's website after Benedict announced his resignation. The top rated comments were all negatively against him, while all the least rated comments were in favour of him.I was watching CNN and they said that he was a pretty conservative person so taking the name of Francis was ambiguous move. It'll be interesting to see how involved he becomes on issues like the ones that got Benedict on shaky ground. At any rate, as long as he tweets, I think that's a good first step.
Pope Francis I the first non-European pope in the modern Era. Will this lead to positive steps for the Global South? Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of the poor, can only help, I think.
