What Happens Next
The Vatican now enters a period of sede vacante (the vacant see). Rituals begin immediately: the Camerlengo seals the papal apartments, and preparations for the funeral and conclave are set in motion. According to Vatican law, the earliest possible date for the conclave is May 6, 2025—15 days after the announcement—to elect a new pope. Reuters
The “Last Pope” Prophecy
For centuries, the Prophecy of the Popes—attributed to 12th‑century Saint Malachy—has circulated in Catholic lore. It names 112 short Latin mottos, ending with a final pontiff called “Peter the Roman,” whose reign supposedly heralds the end of Rome. Many dismissed it as a 16th‑century forgery, but its lore has deepened intrigue now that Francis has gone.
