Conclave to elect new pope to begin on 7 May, Vatican says | BBC News

Conclave comes from a Latin word meaning "room that can be locked up" (from the Latin com-, "together," and clavis, "key"). The English conclave formerly had the same meaning, but that use is now obsolete. Today, conclave refers not to the locked rooms but to the private meetings and secret assemblies that occur within them. The meaning of conclave has also expanded to include gatherings that are not necessarily secret or private but simply involve people with shared interests.

The word is used because the Cardinals are locked in a room and meetings are held until the Pope is elected. The root means "gathering + Locked up".

The Latin roots of "conclave" are "cum clavis", meaning "with a key." This refers to the tradition of the cardinals being locked in a private room (the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City) until they elect a new Pope, to ensure secrecy and prevent outside interference. The word also implies a secluded, private meeting, as the cardinals are effectively locked away until they have made their choice.

This provides some good information and he makes a connection from this conclave to the Bible.

Be quite fascinating if it ends up a Conservative Catholic, maybe even one who notices Trident Masses (Latin Mass) is flourishing among youths.

I am not Roman Catholic myself, but Gregory Chant which is in Latin really soothes me, so I can see why the Latin Mass is popular. Latin is a language from Jesus' Time, it was upon His Cross that Jesus of Nazerath King of the Jews was written in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin.

It was reported recentlt that Pope Francis left his $200 thousand Euros personal bank account to prisoners he'd supported.

I'm not Catholic. I do look forward to the announcement.

I watched the movie Conclave (2024) out of curiosity about how things are done. It has a majorly controversial twist, but the conclave parts were good.

I hope they will agree on a new pope who values the life of the unborn and who will clean up the mess caused by sexual predators in the church.

Indeed, the unborn need an advocate. I find that song by Casting Crowns to be tragically applicable, "O America! Who says save the trees and kill the children.." We will be judged by the LORD for being silent against Molech's Return and his slaughter of the unborn.

The Sexual Predators thing is very important. The next Pope needs to have a New Council and the Curia vote that if any clergyman preys on the innocent, they are to be defrocked and handed over to the Secular Courts, no longer having the protection of the Church.
