00:00The Vatican authorities are finalizing preparations for the celebration of the conclave in the Sistine Chapel
00:05where 133 cardinals will gather to elect the new pontiff on May 7th.
00:11The Holy See has announced that two bonfires and a chimney have been set up to the site
00:16to emit the white smoke that signals the appointment of the successor of the late Pope Francis.
00:23Until an agreement is reached, the black smoke will continue to be emitted.
00:27The test will consist on four daily votes, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.
00:34If necessary, a direct and obligatory second ballot will be held between the two cardinals
00:39who received the most votes in the previous ballot.
00:43In all cases, a two-thirds majority will be required.
00:46What I'm doing is looking, listening, seeing people coming from Mongolia, working in the
00:59Curia, who are with the poorest people in Latin America, in Africa.
01:04This is very beautiful.
01:06It's a richness and for this I think it is us all good, believers and non-believers.
01:12This I think is also the legacy of 2,000 years of ecclesial life and also the legacy of Pope
01:19Francis.
01:22Everyone is among us, I don't know who it is he doesn't know himself, but there's the
01:27future Pope, and he will hear all of this.
01:30And it's from this richness that he will nourish himself and I hope that afterwards we will be
01:34able to be for him a true college of brother cardinals.
