The Roman Catholic cardinals are set to commence the process of electing a new pope on Wednesday. They will gather in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, following a Mass ceremony at St. Peter’s Basilica. This conclave, a practice dating back to medieval times, aims to find a successor for Pope Francis, who recently passed away, in order to provide leadership to a Church that is currently divided.
