Pope Francis in profile
The death of Pope Francis means that the Vatican now sets in motion very specific protocols for this period of “interregnum” – the time between the passing of one pontiff and the election of his successor.
The most important person during this time of mourning and preparation for the succession process, as anyone who has seen the award-winning film Conclave knows, is the cardinal camerlengo or chamberlain.
