How Is a New Pope Chosen?
When a pope dies or resigns, the governance of the Catholic Church passes to the College of
Cardinals. Cardinals are bishops and Vatican officials from all over the world, personally
chosen by the pope, recognizable by their distinctive red vestments. Their primary responsibility
is to elect a new pope.
Following a vacancy in the papacy, the cardinals hold a series of meetings at the Vatican
called general congregations. They discuss the needs and the challenges facing the Catholic
Church globally. They will also prepare for the upcoming papal election, called a conclave.
Decisions that only the pope can make, such as appointing a bishop or convening the Synod of
Bishops, must wait till after the election. In the past, they made arrangements for the funeral
and burial of the deceased pope.
In the past, 15 to 20 days after a papal vacancy, the cardinals gathered in St. Peter's
Basilica for a Mass invoking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in electing a new pope. Only
cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote in a conclave. They are known as the
cardinal electors, and their number is limited to 120. For the conclave itself, the cardinal
electors process to the Sistine Chapel and take an oath of absolute secrecy before sealing the
doors.
The cardinals vote by secret ballot, processing one by one up to Michelangelo's fresco of the
Last Judgment, saying a prayer and dropping the twice-folded ballot in a large chalice. Four
rounds of balloting are taken every day until a candidate receives two-thirds of the vote. The
result of each ballot are counted aloud and recorded by three cardinals designated as recorders.
If no one receives the necessary two-thirds of the vote, the ballots are burned in a stove near the
chapel with a mixture of chemicals to produce black smoke.
When a cardinal receives the necessary two-thirds vote, the dean of the College of Cardinals
asks him if he accepts his election. If he accepts, he chooses a papal name and is dressed in papal
vestments before processing out to the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. The ballots of the final
round are burned with chemicals producing white smoke to signal to the world the election of
a new pope.
The senior cardinal deacon, currently French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, announces from
the balcony of St. Peter's "Habemus Papam" ("We have a pope") before the new pope processes
out and imparts his blessing on the city of Rome and the entire world.

A Reflection on Lent
EOL Youth Ministry
“During Lent, penance should not be
only internal and individual but also
external and social. The practice of
penance should be fostered according
to the possibilities of the present day
and of a given area, as well as of
individual circumstances.
In any event, let the paschal fast be
kept sacred. It should be observed
everywhere on Good Friday and,
where possible, prolonged throughout Holy Saturday, so
that the joys of the Sunday of the resurrection may be
visited on uplifted and responsive spirits” (Constitution
on the Sacred Liturgy, 110).
Do you have white or red Confirmation robes in
your closet or stuffed in a drawer that you will never use
again?
Would you be willing to donate to a parish that
does not have funds for robes? If it's a yes, bring them to
Church this weekend, Mar. 9-10.
There will be a box in the vestibule to drop them off.
EOL Youth Ministry will take care of folding and
packaging those robes and giving them to those
Confirmation Candidates that can't afford to buy them.

From the Pastor
The priests of Pastoral
Planning Area (PPA) 430 met
25 October 2012 with
Monsignor Joseph J. Nicolo,
pastor of St. Helena Church,
Blue Bell, and Dean of
Western Montgomery
County, to commence
dialogue as directed by
Monsignor Arthur E. Rodgers, Coordinator of
Archdiocesan Planning Initiatives, in his 13 September
2012 memorandum to priests of the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia.
“Beginning Sept. 18, seven Pastoral Planning
Areas will begin detailed studies evaluating the
parishes in order to establish long-term viable
parishes within the area of study,” Monsignor
Rodgers wrote.
In addition, Parish Planning Area 430 “will begin
a dialogue to evaluate the future viability of the
stable parishes looking forward to 2020,” the
memorandum concluded.
“The purpose of restructuring and dialogue is
to establish viable parishes which will be better
able to carry out their mission of evangelization,”
according to Monsignor Rodgers.
On Oct. 25, at our first meeting, we priests of
PPA 430 discussed Pre-Cana Groups, Youth
Ministers and Youth Ministry, the use of vacant
parish buildings, and informing the Dean of any
Mass schedule changes that may need to take
place in the future.
On Mar. 13, we priests will discuss topics
suggested by our respective Parish Pastoral
Councils.

From the Pastor:
The Fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally known
as Laetare (“Rejoice”) Sunday, so-called from the first
word of entrance antiphon. Laetare, taken from the
Latin translation of Is 66:10-11, sets a tone of joyful
anticipation of the Easter mystery, as does the
permitted use of rose-colored vestments.
From the Children:
I helped unpack boxes. I was patient to my parents. I
cared for my pet.
