Only a very small number of Cardinals and members of the Cardinal Corps are stationed in the Holy See in the Kingdom of Genesis.

The vast majority of cardinals are divided into the capital dioceses of various countries. Generally speaking, there are no more than two or three cardinals in any country in the world, and they are basically one person.

Some countries with a relatively strong religious influence, such as Poland, Austria, and Canada, will have more cardinals.

Some countries with highly developed capital will also have two people staying in permanent positions.

At the same time, the bishop is not equal to the cardinal, and not everyone can join the Cardinals and become Cardinals.

The cardinal can participate in the electoral system of the great priests, but the final voting ruling is made by the Cardinals.

Especially in ancient times, when transportation and communication were not well developed, it was necessary to ensure that the members of the Cardinal Corps could quickly gather together after the death of the great priest.

Then the Cardinals from all regions around the world will elect new priests by members of the Cardinal Corps, and the Cardinal Corps can also run for election.

The most classic case is when the Grand Priest was elected in the 12th century, the successor of the Grand Priest voted by the Cardinals in Genny was the Cardinal of the Diocese of the Holy City Yelen at that time.

At that time, the Cardinal Order's election lasted for four days, because the Holy Bishop had already been split.

Even though the Cardinal of the Diocese of Yeleng Holy City was confirmed as the new priest, the latter did not even know that the priest had passed away.

It was only more than two months before he knew that the great priest had passed away and he had become the new great priest that the messenger from the Kingdom of Genny sent the news.

The other party then rushed to the country of Geni to take office, which lasted for more than half a year.

In the past six months, the pope took on the rights of the great priest.

So this was a very cumbersome and trouble in ancient times.

In the modern era of the 21st century, thanks to the convenience of communication and transportation in the technological era, even 28 hours, flights can fly around the Earth's equator.

This allows Cardinals and members of the Cardinal Order from any part of the world to come to the Holy See of Genée within 24 hours.

Preparation for the election of the great priest.

And in the Holy See today.

The number of people in the Cardinal Corps reached 278, of which 110 were over 65 years old.

52 people are over 80 years old.

These 278 members of the Cardinal Corps all come from 65 countries.

Among them, Europe occupies 92, North America 38, Latin America 31, Africa 26, Oceania 14, and the Gudong and Asia Pacific regions 59.

The people above are only members of the cardinal group within the triangle system.

In addition, some bishops and even cardinals who have far-reaching influence from the three religions alone have developed to a certain scale.

The relationship between these independent church organizations and the Holy See is equivalent to the relationship between lords and emperors in ancient times.

Under the command of the emperor, the Holy See will not interfere with the administration of an independent church.

Among the remaining Cardinal members, one cardinal is from the Meda Society, one is from the Franciscans, two are from the Sassian Society, and even the Momon Church, which has a more extreme doctrine, has two Cardinal members, Pastoral. In addition, there are many Cardinal members from independent churches.

And the main reason for this is that there are the following reasons:

The cardinal's duty is to pastor some of the more important archdiocese around the world, such as the provincial capital or capital, such as Milan, Paris, New York, Washington, Manila.

These cardinals in various regions are strictly under the command of the Holy See and have an orthodox background in the three religions.

But in the earliest days, both the Holy Bishop and the Xinguang Cult were separated from the Holy Yidan Cult.

Even in the early stages of the division, they were suppressed by the Saint-Idan Cult. In this case, the Saint-Biography and the Xinguang Cult could only fight with the Saint-Idan Cult to be outside the division of the diocese territory.

They also chose to allocate some prestigious people to establish independent faith organizations, and this independent church would be in the name of the Holy Bishop and the Sinocchio.

He ran to some St. It preached in the diocese of St. It did not eat up the other party's diocese, but only influenced the believers of St. It's also the same as that of St. It's also the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's the same as that of St. It's

At first, the St. Edan Church, which valued the diocese's rule, was not very concerned about what such an independent small church could do.

But soon they discovered that this independent and developing church was like a terrible plague of faith.

Although it did not erode the parish territory of the Saint-Idan religion, it changed the cells in the blood of the Saint-Idan religion, the most basic believers.

In the early division struggle, the Holy Bishop and the Xinguang Cult have gained a foothold through this method.

But in the later period, this independent church had developed to a very large scale.

Especially the scholars of the longer and larger religious orders, such as the Benedictine, Franciscans, Dominicans, Medas, etc.

For these three religions, the top leaders can only acquiesce to the other party and allow them to develop, but in their original intention, traditionally, each independent church must obey the management of the papal in this religion.

At ten o'clock the next morning, almost global media reports mainly focused on two facts as the main content played.

First, the opening of the Holy Road.

The second is the martyrdom of the great priest.

At the same time, the news media of developed countries in almost the world poured into St. Peter's Square in the Kingdom of Genesis.

Many news cars with their national flags docked at the outermost perimeter of St. Peter's Square.

At the same time, media reporters from various countries reported live broadcasting the scene of gathering people to watch for the great priest in St. Peter's Square.

It is rumored that the current pope, Shiffyn Ballymuir, has been staying in St. Peter's Basil all night and has not yet come out.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the popes of the Three Deeds also had their first meeting after the martyrdom of the great priests under the public's attention.

Over the thousands of years of the development of the Holy See, hundreds of elections by the great priests have been very troublesome.

Even in the 14th century, the election of the great priests took a whole year and seven months. At that time, the first election of the great priests was in the aftermath of the Holy Bishop and the Xinguang Cult.

Therefore, the three parties suppress the game and form a serious alliance. In order to elect a great priest who meets their respective camps, the three religions basically form an alliance with me today, and tomorrow I will stab you in the back.

In the end, the Pope could not bear it anymore and directly locked all members of the Cardinals into the Sistine Chapel, leaving them isolated from the outside, and the Sistine Chapel was closed layer by layer.

Only meal delivery is allowed, and each member's residence is an independent secret room, and it is impossible to secretly convey messages to each other.

If you have anything to discuss, you can only be in the hall.

Three meals a day are gradually reduced. If there is no election today, the next day the Pope ordered the reduction of meals and will continue to reduce them before the election is released.

In this way, the members of the cardinal group persisted in the Sistine Chapel for two months before they selected the final candidate for the Grand Priest.

So later, before the election of the great priest, there will basically be two coordinations!

The three popes of the three religions cannot be candidates, but as leaders of the three major religions, they play a leading role in the election of great priests.

After all, the selected priest will be the immediate boss of the three of them in the future, and they must carefully consider the religion behind them.

And the first time these two coordinations was to ask the pope for his opinion to see if the other party had a designated candidate!

There are three cases in which the candidates can be determined for the succession of the great priest.

First: Designated by the Pope, the Pope, as the supreme ruler of the Holy See and descendants of God's blood, has the right to exercise all the rights of the Holy Lord in this world, and also includes the designation of the great priest.

When he designates someone as a great priest, he can directly skip the cardinal and cardinal system of the candidacy and election system. Even if the designated person is an ordinary farmer, as long as the other party is a believer, he can come to the Kingdom of Geni to succeed the great priest.

The Pope's designation does not require attention to the identity of the cardinal.

Second: Cardinal elections, held in the Kingdom of Genny during the elections.

The election of the great priests must be carried out strictly in the traditional way since the Middle Ages.

On the day of the election, after the members of the Cardinal Cardinals who were dressed upright, they entered the Sistine Chapel in the Kingdom of Genée from the "Bronze Gate".

Live in the ‘secret room’ respectively.

During the election of the Grand Priest, the Sistine Chapel was completely isolated from the world, with layers of doors locked and sealed, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Except for one emergency contact telephone, all other telephone lines will be cut off.

The only channel for communication between inside and outside is the two turntables set on the ‘Bronze Door’. The food, medicine, etc. that need to be delivered inward are placed on the turntable and the staff turn the turntable and send it in.

The election adopts mutual election method, and those who receive more than two-thirds of the votes are elected.

The candidate list is not mentioned in advance, so multiple votes are often required to obtain results.

During the election period, the situation of the election must not be spread.

To await the election results, thousands of believers gathered in St. Peter's Square outside the Sistine Chapel, staring at the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.

Every time there is a vote, smoke comes out of the chimney. If the smoke comes out black, it means that the election has no results.

If white smoke rises from the chimney, it means that the new priest has been elected.

The third method is: unanimous cheering. Unanimous cheering is a compromise method for the election of the great priest. When the pope neither appoints the candidates for the great priest, and the members of the cardinal group of the three religions have no unified opinion.

Then you can choose the way of cheering unanimously. The cardinal members present called the same person's name together. The earliest saying was that in the 12th century, the electors within the Saint-Idan Cult did not finalize the candidate for the great priest.

Due to the internal factional dispute, they finally explained to the outside world that they felt the will of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord would choose a certain person as the great priest, even if the other party is not a bishop, he would be competent.

The way to cheer unanimously is that the members of the cardinal group shouted the person's name together, which is actually a fig leaf for the election of the great priest. If you don't want to give this position to the other party's faction, then the two groups of people will choose an outsider.

In the history of the Holy See, the unanimous cheer was only used once in the twelfth century, and in the century of the twelfth century, more than a dozen great priests had been replaced.

It was an extremely chaotic era in the history of the development of the Holy See.

When the oldest Pope Saint-Edan, Gabriel, and Pope Saint-Edit-Biography Pope Hermisda and Pope Shin-Guang-Difangge, entered St. Peter's Basilica at the same time, the carved door was closed instantly, leaving only mysterious reverie to the people.

What will the young pope say to the three popes? Or Pope Shufien already has the designated candidate for the next great priest.

The Holy Road has clearly opened, but the attention of the whole world is focused on the election of the great priests, and they don’t even study how to step into the Holy Road.
