The Sistine Chapel is sealed, the Cardinals sworn to secrecy, and the world is watching. As the 2025 Papal Conclave begins, we take you behind the locked doors to uncover the rules, rituals, and real power dynamics of electing the next pope.
Discover the history of the Apostolic Constitution, the role of the Camerlengo, and the intense procedures that guarantee secrecy and unity — all rooted in centuries of tradition.
