Vatican Holds Conclave To Elect New Pope
People gather in St. Peter's Square during the second day of the Conclave in Vatican City, Vatican, on May 8, 2025. Cardinals of the Catholic Church descend on Vatican City to commence the papal conclave, the secretive voting process held in the Sistine Chapel that requires a two-thirds majority to elect the new leader of the Catholic Church. The election follows the death of Pope Francis on April 21 at the age of 88. (Photo by Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto)
