Seal the Pope's apartment. The meeting of the cardinal. The white smoke and the bell continue. These are just some events in which the Pope died, and the new Pope was chosen.
It is part of a long history that determines what happened after Pope Francis’ death on Monday.
Pope Francis died at 88, and the Vatican confirmed to the public on Monday that the lockdown had been among the more progressive people who some people believe were the Roman Catholic Church.
The Pope died after health challenges in recent months, including a few weeks ago in pneumonia hospitalization and complex lung infections, which require high levels of oxygen and blood transfusions.
The immediate measures next show that when the Pope dies, Camerlengo or Chamberlain (currently Irish-born American Cardinal Kevin Farrell) must prove his death and seal the Pope's apartment with red ribbons and seals.
The dean of the Cardinal College then summoned members to attend the funeral and presided over the funeral – Pope Francis, some of which looked different from the past.
“Pope Francis made unique things that, in a sense, became popular and unconventional decisions like the unique non-traditional things he did during his time at the Pope,” Emma Anderson, professor of classical and religious studies at the University of Ottawa, said in an interview.
In those “unique” decisions, not bury under the Cathedral of St. Peter, but choose to be buried in the Cathedral of Major St. Mary, where his favorite Virgin Mary idol, Salus Populi Romani.
According to the Cathedral website, the Holy Land Bed is also located here, which contains five Sycamore Wood, which is said to be part of the crib.
After Francis' death, his coffin will be transferred to St. Peter's for funerals and public viewing before funerals. The funeral must be held between the fourth and sixth days after his death.
Nine days of official mourning must be conducted, known as “Novidiali”.

During this time the Cardinal arrived in Rome for a meeting.
One meeting was a formal secret meeting where the Cardinals gathered to elect the next pope.
“Sed vacancy” must start 15 to 20 days after it, also known as “vacancies” when the Pope dies, although it may happen earlier if the cardinal agrees.
According to statistics provided by the Vatican Press, although it was the cardinal who elected the Pope, only 135 times encountered the critical situation under the age of 80.
In these 135 Taichung, a total of 108 were appointed directly by Francis, and the rest were appointed by the late Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II.
Those who do not meet the critical value can still contribute to the various congregations before the conclusion, and can be elected as Pope even if they do not belong to the meeting.
But when the meeting began, 135 cardinals were locked in the Vatican until they elected the new pope.
“This is one of the best examples of direct democracy we have,” Anderson said.
“Every vote counting and voting is done after prayer, of course, the entire session of Navi should be under the Aegis of the Holy Spirit and should be given to God, through the Holy Spirit, through the Holy Spirit, to guide the church to choose the best candidate.”
The cardinals must take a pledge to declare that they know that if they reveal anything that has happened during the meeting, they may be deported.
The first vote usually takes place in the afternoon after the initial mass at Sistine Church, but if the Pope is not elected, two votes will be held in the morning, twice a day until the Pope is selected.
If no one named it by the third day of the vote, one day off.
“There was prayer, insight, conversation, discussion, and then vote,” said Reid Locklin, associate professor of Christianity and culture at St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto.
Three Cardinals check each ballot to make sure that each name to be calculated is filled out correctly and read each name to be calculated, and then announce the results.
Two-thirds of the vote is required, and if not achieved, the ballots are pierced with needles and thread, then knotted and placed on a pallet, preparing another round of votes.
At the end of each polling meeting, the pierced ballots were burned in a cylinder furnace with chemical cartridges added to ensure the color of the smoke.
If the black smoke breaks out of the chimney of the Sistine Church, there is no pope selected, but if the white smoke rolls, there will be a new pope.
He was introduced from loggia, overlooking St. Peter's Square, which read “Habemus Papam”, meaning “We have a pope” and then his first blessing appeared.
Who can become the new pope?
While the meeting is completely confidential, there has been speculation about who can be appointed as the next pope.
Francis named 108 cardinal votes, and the next pope may have values similar to his values.
In recent years, just as political changes have occurred in democracies around the world, it may be within the scope of conferences.
“I think the Cardinals have to think they are electing a pope who will become the new political world,” Locklin said.
“They may be looking for a stable hand. They may be looking for a prophetic voice…. What you imagine is that this will become part of what they are focusing on is the world and say, 'Who is the pope that the world needs now, we must do our best,' know that the Holy Spirit will ultimately make a judgment, but who can do that.”
Although any baptized Roman Catholic male is qualified, only Cardinals were chosen.
According to the Associated Press, Italy's Pietro Parolin and Matteo Zuppi, Canada's Marc Ouellet, Austria's Christoph Schoenborn and Luis Tagle can all be named.
