The Vatican has announced it will disable mobile phone signals within its state territory during the conclave for electing a new pope, starting May 7. This measure is designed to maintain privacy and confidentiality as 133 cardinals prepare to vote for the new pope. However, St. Peter's Square will still have an active signal, allowing thousands of faithful to gather while awaiting news. Cardinals must leave their phones behind to ensure the conclave's utmost secrecy during this significant and solemn event following the death of Pope Francis.
The Vatican will deactivate mobile phone signals during the conclave to elect a new pope, ensuring privacy and secrecy, but St. Peter's Square remains unaffected.
This decision aims to ensure that the conclave, crucial for selecting the new pope, occurs without external interference and maintains an atmosphere of solemnity.
