Today at 09.30AM local time the Cardinals will gather in what is called a pre-conclave to choose a date to start the Conclave,the ancient election procedure to elect a new Pontifex Maximus.
Usually a forthnight was between the passing of a Pope and the start of the Conclaves,but the previous Pontiff provided for an earlyer start.In this case it might mean the start of the Conclave will be sometime next week already.The Cardinals will be "locked in" the Sistine Chapel,con clave,and will vote,three times a day,in order to elect a new Head of the Roman Catholic Church & Monarch of The Vatican.
