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.

CONCLAVE - AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT!!! MAY 7 + 7 DAYS = THE FLOOD MAY 14, 2025


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.

I know some who wish they'd lock the door and lose the key.

i'm at least, a bit surprised that the subject is even being discussed on a Christian site. i really don't know any Christians who care or talk about the pope or catholicism. in fact, it's hilarious that some catholics call themselves Christians! well, quite simply stated, if they are Christians, why are they calling themselves catholics?

We should all pray that He turns the white smoke orange. Wouldn't that be entertaining.

Is there anything on these forums that's not discussed? It seems nothing is out of bounds.

These pope elections are even more political than any high stakes elections in the world.
It's hilarious on how much of a show they make out of this and i've mentioned before that when i first saw John Paul II visiting and traveling with a bulletproof glass car, my friends and i were joking that the pope has better protection than the U.S. President. lol
I mean they do have the Swiss guard army in their little nation-state.

Post #2 on this thread explains what this has to do with Christians.

The different styles of armored vehicles are also indicative of something: one's a glass box so the passenger can stand and be idolized, I mean seen - the other a blacked-out limo to just get the passenger from point to point safely.

I was going to say one is just a black beast, but it seemed to reverse the idolatrous image. I know some will disagree since Trump is the antichrist.

If the Catholics catch a cold then the Orthodox and the Protestants catch pneumonia is the basic principle. Love it or hate it, that's just the way it is for better or worse. It is valid Christian news to watch for.

datzphunnneee!

tell me what you mean please. it sounds like you are saying the voting of the pope is valid to watch & listen to. for me, absolutely not, don't care, not a shred.

What if the Pope they vote for is the false prophet that looks like a lamb spoken of in Revelation? How does that not concern Christians?

What if the Conclave where they are locked up into the room is foreshadowed in Noah being locked into the ark by God seven days before the flood begins, is that not of concern to Christians?

What if Samson pushing out the two pillars on a great sacrifice to Dagon (you know the pagan worship to Dagon, the priests wear that funny hat that the Pope wears) is a reference to this event. Is that not a concern to Christians?

When Elijah called down fire there were 850 false prophets all gathered together to a meeting that God called. When a person dies we say that "God called them home". At this great feast to Dagon there will be 850 false prophets gathered together. That could be a funeral of a Pope or that could be the Inauguration of a new Pope, but there are very few events that the Catholic church does where 850 false prophets from around the globe would be gathered. Is that not of interest to Christians?

Suppose the rich man that was dressed in fine linen and purple (exactly what this last Pope was wearing the day he died) who lived sumptuously (that means he lived like a king), suppose this is the rich man that dies at the same time as Lazarus. That would indicate that Lazarus is about to be raised from the dead, the rapture. Isn't that of interest to Christians?

They catch a cold, we catch pneumonia means basically whatever happens with the Catholics will happen with the Orthodox and Protestants and to a more amplified degree basically. This works two ways though, it could be good, it could be bad. Consider Francis became Pope he allowed blessings homosexuals, the result is the Protestants took that and straight up adorned their churches with that ugly gay flag mess and even ordained sodomites and start performing blasphemous rituals of gay marriage and so forth and so on. To the converse, you could have a legitimately holy Christian become the Pope, it hasn't happened for a long time and does seem unlikely by conventional wisdom, but then again the Lord God has proven many things that were thought impossible to not be the case in the past year. One notices you have a candidate that is a truly holy man in Robert Sarah whom is a genuine and strong Christian and has resisted the temptations of animism, atheism, secularism, etc. and the potential he could have to further spreading Christianity without compromising to the forces of the Earth and the Devil.
