YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs Catholics around the world grieve the loss of Pope Francis, cardinals begin to gather in the Vatican to elect the next head of the church. Recently glamourised by Hollywood, the conclave is a secret ballot held with the most senior members of the church, to pick the next pope.
Amid the chaos of shifting global power and political dynamics, the conclave finds itself caught in the crossfire, with both progressive and conservative forces at play. With new faces and popular contenders filling the Sistine Chapel, it really is anyone’s game. Among them is Ukrainian-born, Melbourne-based cardinal Mykola Bychok, the youngest in the group.
Compass follows this historic event to find out what really happened in Rome, with all the intrigue and excitement involved in electing the new pope.
