Description

In this episode, we delve into one of the most secretive and fascinating traditions in the world: the selection of a new pope.

Following the death of Pope Francis, the eyes of the world once again turn to the Vatican as the Catholic Church prepares to choose its next spiritual leader.

We explore the centuries-old rituals of the papal conclave, the critical role of the College of Cardinals, and the delicate balance of politics, theology, and global influence that shapes the election of the next Bishop of Rome. 

Whether you're a devout Catholic or simply intrigued by the inner workings of global religious leadership, this episode offers a rare inside look at a process that has shaped history for over two millennia.
