What Happens When The Pope Dies?

VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

When the Pope passes away, a complex and ancient process begins. Join us as we explore the intricate steps of papal succession, from the moment of death to the election of a new pontiff. Discover the fascinating traditions and rituals that have guided the Catholic Church for centuries. We'll dive into the sealed chambers, secret ballots, and historic ceremonies that determine the next leader of the Catholic Church, including the dramatic moment when white smoke signals a new pope has been chosen.
