" i The election of a. pope is effected by j'three .methods, Jby. acclamation or ad-i ad-i oration, jix 'which -is embodied, the idea of direct divine-inspiration; - by the compromise, or tty vote. The.la.te Pope; Leo was;elected..on the second day of the conclave, by, accla-n.atjom accla-n.atjom . ': '', The system' , of voting, called . the serutinum, is regulated by exact prescription- The proceedings are under the direction pf six cardinals, two from each order of. bjshors, priests and deacons. dea-cons. Every cardinal is provided with a voting paper on -which he writes the name of His chosen candidate, but not his own name. No one is permitted to vote for himself. When the requisite interval has passed, each, cardinal, be--ginniiiK with the one of the 'most ancient an-cient creation, leaves his seat and advances ad-vances to the high altar. Amid a solemn hush the elector prays for a while on the altar steps and then, declaring de-claring aloud that his vote is given according to. his conscience, drops his voting paper in' the chalice. The Smoke Signal. When all have voted in like manner, the six scrutineers examine the papers and proclaim the result. If no cardinal cardi-nal has obtained the required number of votes two-thirds of the number of cardinals present plus one the result is declared void, and the voting papers, collected together, are burned in a brazier bra-zier with damp stri.v, the dense smoke from which issues through a particular chimney, visible from the outside, and pioclaims to the outside world that no election has taken place. Under these circumstances, on tht afternoon of the same day a second vote takes place, supplementary to the first, and called I the accessit vote. In this the procedure proce-dure embodies the theory that the car-i car-i Yti-timA thp larsrest uinai ii'i n" uui.i...v. - - ' number of votes in the morning is the most acceptable to the conclave. Cpn-sicuently, Cpn-sicuently, his name is the only one considered for the moment and each cardinal votes for him by writing the word "acccdo" on his scheda, or voting rf'rer or sienifies his dissent by the vordp- "acccdo nemini." If this new vote leads to no result, the papers are burned as before and the conclave adjourns ad-journs until r the following morning when the election begins afresh and S o-uite Irrespective of the previous; day s ! proceedings- -When at length the de-ternvning de-ternvning vote is taken and the cardi-! cardi-! ral deacon, the scrutineer, announces I that a certain candidate has been elect-l.ed elect-l.ed none there is a departure from the (procedure adopied hitherto The car-I car-I .-'inal deacon opens -each folded voting --re- fully and. reading me 1 motto which each cardinal has to in-1 in-1 scribe on it for -the purpose of ultimate Identification, males known how each member of the conclave voted.

With Peter's Emg. The election being over, a summons jc at once sent. to. the prefect of ceremonies,' cere-monies,' who spredily enters the .chap-ci .chap-ci hearing the fisherman's ring. An -interval- then ot-curs, during which the c;:nori'K are removed from the stalls of a! th arrtinals except that of tir.' newly 'elected pope, and h: holmes, 'retires Jo robe himself m the pontifical ponti-fical vestments: On his return th-nshcrman's th-nshcrman's ring is.placed on his fin0ci j oy the cardinal ' camerlingo, and the nee? vi ear of Christ fes his first sol-f sol-f ran benediction to the members oZ j sacred college from the steps of the altr. Then, taking his seat on the sedia gestatoria, the pope receives the homage of their eminence and communicates the names which it is ms pleasure to assume as pontiff. Next, the first cardinal deacon takes the oath of obedience and, hastening to the grand loggia or balcony of St. Peter's, looking on the great piazza, announces to the expectant multitude the election of the pope, usins the form of words, consecrated by immortal usage: "I ring you tidings of great joy. W-i have a pope, the most hTgh and reverend rev-erend Lord, who" has taken tnon himself him-self the name of Pius X or Leo XIV." People Flock to St. Peter's. The people then flock into St. Peter's Pe-ter's to see the pope and receive his blessing, and it is a stirring scene which presents itself in the noble cathedral ca-thedral when the sovereign pontiff, clad in the richest vestments and wearing the triple tiara is borne aloft with all the princes of the church in his train, through the ranks of kneeling worshippers, worship-pers, on whom, with uplifted finger, his holiness bestows his pontifical benediction. bene-diction. The ceremony of the adoration by the cardinals then takes place, and the pope, having put off his pontifical robes andassumed his ordinary white vestments, with the broad cardinal's hat and scarlet hood,', is carried on th-3 sedia gestatoria, attended by an escort es-cort of the noble guard, to his new apartments in the Vatican". |
