The article discusses the process of electing a new Pope, known as 'conclave', which began today at the Vatican. During this secret meeting, Cardinals under the age of 80 vote on a candidate who must receive two-thirds majority to be elected. If no candidate is chosen, black smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel; white smoke signifies a new Pope has been elected. The film 'Conclave', now released in Korea, explores this detailed process, showcasing aspects such as the sealed residence of Cardinals at the Santa Marta, their voting process, and the Sistine Chapel as the voting venue. The term 'habemus papam' (Latin for 'we have a Pope') marks the election of a new Pope, who then announces his chosen papal name.
