Cardinals Conduct Their Final Mass Before Entering Into The Conclave
ROME, ITALY – MARCH 12: Seminarians at the North American College line the road to watch as a bus takes the American Cardinals to St. Peter’s Basilica where a Pro Eligendo Romano Pontifice Mass will be celebrated before the Cardinals enter the Conclave to decide who the next pope will be on March 12, 2013 in Rome, Italy. Cardinals are set to enter the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI after he became the first pope in 600 years to resign from the role. The conclave is scheduled to start in the afternoon inside the Sistine Chapel and will be attended by 115 cardinals as they vote to select the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church.
