Junior/Intermediate
Summary: Three timely articles on the papal election are to be read, with questions to be answered in the scavenger hunt worksheet.
- A new pope is elected by the College of Cardinals, which is made up of bishops, priests and deacons.
- Peter’s Square in Vatican City where he gives his first blessing.
- But the process outlined below, rife with secrecy and tradition, will largely follow centuries-old protocol.
- Attendance is optional for cardinals age 80 and over, and they do not vote in the conclave.
