00:12The Cardinals, who must be under 80 years old, take the oath to respect the secret vote and accept the result.
00:18Isolated from the rest of the world, they must meet at the earliest 15 days, or at the latest 20 days,
00:24after the death or resignation of the Pope.
00:26The vote takes place in the emblematic Vatican Chapel, with two votes in the morning and two votes in the evening.
00:32The ballot papers are burned in a stove, and the ensuing smoke informs the faithful outside of the result.
00:38If the smoke is black, it means nobody has been elected.

00:45After accepting the position and choosing his papal name, the elected person immediately becomes Pontifex Maximus, or Supreme Pontiff.
