"Pope Francisâs death has sparked discussions about potential successors, with speculations around Peter Turkson, Luis Tagle, and Peter Erdo as frontrunners in a unique papal conclave."
"The College of Cardinals, composed mainly of those chosen by Francis, will convene in a conclave to decide the next pope. This process involves secret ballots and traditional smoke signals."
Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 after recently being treated for a complex respiratory infection. His 12-year papacy has left a significant impact on the Catholic Church, which now faces the challenge of selecting a successor. Potential candidates such as Peter Turkson, Luis Tagle, and Peter Erdo have emerged. The election of a new pope will be decided by the College of Cardinals during a conclave, which comprises cardinals under 80 years old who will vote secretly until a candidate secures a two-thirds majority, signaled by smoke from ballots burned in the Sistine Chapel.
