The Vatican says the conclave to elect a new pope will likely start in the first few days of next week.
The Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters that
cardinals will vote Friday afternoon on the start date of the conclave
but said it was "likely" they would choose Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
The cardinals have been attending pre-conclave
meetings to discuss the problems of the church and decide who among them
is best suited to fix them as pope.
