VATICAN CITY, May 5, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - All of the 133 Catholic cardinals who 
will vote to choose a successor to Pope Francis are now in Rome ahead of the 
conclave starting this week, the Vatican said Monday.

They will gather in secret in the Sistine Chapel starting at 4:30 pm (1430 
GMT) on Wednesday, and will keep voting until one choice among them has a 
two-thirds majority, and becomes head of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
