Selecting the Pope Summary:

Award-winning author Greg Tobin offers a compelling guide to what is sure to be one of the most important and headline-making events in modern history—the election of the next pope. Selecting the Pope examines each rule of this secretive process—and explores the rich history behind the conclave and the key issues that will shape the future of the Catholic Church. You’ll discover:

Why the election always concludes with the rising of white smoke
What powers the cardinals hold during the vacancy of the Holy See
Pope John Paul II’s startling changes to the centuries-old election process
A day-by-day account of the balloting inside the Sistine Chapel
How the electors should behave during the conclave—even their “dress code”
A look at the list of probable successors to John Paul II

Selecting the Pope is an indispensable handbook for anyone, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, who wishes to understand the extraordinary process of electing the world’s most influential religious leader.
