The conclave has started. What to know about the selection of a pope
The first thing the new pope will do is choose a name. In the history of the papacy, the most commonly used name has been John, first chosen in 523 by Saint John I, the Vatican says. The last pope to choose that name was Italian Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, elected Pope John XXIII, in 1958. Roncalli was proclaimed a saint by Pope Francis in 2014.

The papal conclave begins Wednesday, May 7. There's no timeline for it to conclude. A new Pope could be selected in a matter of hours, days, weeks or even years. The voting is done in secrecy, with the results signaled by plumes of smoke — black meaning the voting will continue, and white smoke meaning a new pontiff has been selected.
