What is a Papal conclave? How will the next pope be chosen?
Behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel, cardinals from around the world will convene to elect the 267th pontiff.

Cardinals attend the Sixth Novemdiale mass at St Peter's basilica

As the formal mourning period for Pope Francis has ended, attention now shifts to the papal conclave in Vatican City, where powerful members of the Catholic Church are converging to elect the next pontiff.

Cardinals from around the world will choose the 267th pope, leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, at an event of spiritual, political and global relevance. Francis died on April 21 at the age of 88 after 12 years in the papacy.

The conclave, which will kick off on Wednesday, will be held behind the closed doors of the Sistine Chapel. It generally lasts several days and, in some cases, weeks.
