To rest now with Pope Francis, after the attention, the secret gathering of cardinals was designed to come to select the next head of the Catholic Church in the coming days.

On Saturday, an estimated 400,000 mourners, including world leaders and king, attended the funeral of Argentina Pontaf in the Vatican, after which they were buried in Rome.

Many turnouts reflected Francis’ sustainable popularity for a dynamic reformist and poor and backward people.

Many people who mourned the late pope, who died at the age of 88 on Monday, expressed anxiety over who would replace it.

“It turned the church into a bit more common, more human,” said Romina Cacter, 48, a translator from Italy.

“I’m worried about what’s coming.”

On Monday morning, 9:00 am (0700 GMT), Cardinals will hold their fifth general meeting since the Pope’s death, which is expected to announce the date for the conference.

Put the Pope’s selection behind the doors closed at the Frecked Sustaine Chapel has been the subject of public attention for centuries.

The cardinal electric will cast four votes a day until a candidate gets a two -thirds majority, resulting in the burning of white smoke emitting papers and broadcast the waiting world.

Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Kulod Holirak said last week that he expected the conference on May 5 or 6-nine days after the Pupal mourning, which ends May 4.

Germany’s Cardinal Rain Hard Marx told reporters Saturday that the gathering would continue only “a few days”.

Left his mark

Francis’ last rites were held in St. Peters Square in the Bright Spring Sanshine, a mixture of solid ceremonies and emotions for the church’s first Latin American Pope.

Today (Sunday), more crowds are expected when the public can start visiting the simple tomb of his marble in Basilica, his favorite church in Rome.

Francis was buried in a shock to the church, becoming the first pope to interfere with the Vatican in more than a century.

At the funeral, Cardinal Giwani Bitsta again highlighted the defense of the migrants’ jiyat, demanding that the church is “home for everyone”.

Many mourners expressed the hope that the next pope would follow the example of widespread global conflict and right -wing popularity.

“We are worried,” said Evelyn Vilata, 74, from Guatemala.

“He was a pope who left his mark on our generation,” said Marine de Parswics, 21, a French student.

Marx said the debate on the next pope was open, adding: “This is not a question of being conservative or progressive … The new Pope should have a universal point of view.”

Pray for yourself

Of the 252 Cardinals of the church, more than 220 were at the funeral on Saturday, and this afternoon, Santa Maria will gather at the Maggiver to respected them on the tomb of Francis.

At 10:30 pm (0830 GMT), St. Peters Basilica will also have a mass, headed by Petro Pirulin, who was Foreign Secretary under Francis and is the front runner to become the next Pope.

Cardinals under the age of just 80 are eligible to vote at the conference, currently 135 are eligible – most of which were appointed by Francis.

But experts are cautious against understanding that they will choose someone like it.

Francis, a former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, who liked to join his flock, had a very different character of his predecessor Bendit XVI, a German religious expert who was suitable for books better than kissing children.

As a result, benedict was a significant change by his Polish predecessor, charismatic, athletic and extremely popular John Paul II.

Francis’ changes have given rise to anger among many conservative Catholics, and many of them are hoping that the next Pope will focus on theory.

Some cardinals have recognized the weight of the responsibility that they face in selecting a new head of 1.4 billion Catholic’s world.

“We feel too small,” Holrich said last week. “We have to make decisions for the whole church, so we really need to pray for ourselves.”
