The world is about to witness the process of choosing a new Pope.
Or rather not witness it, because as the Oscar-winning film Conclave makes clear, the election of a new Pope is the most secretive democratic process in the world, conducted by 120 cardinals behind closed doors. In fact, the film shows it as being more open than it really is, in that the President of the College of Cardinals briefs the world's media while the process is underway.
In real life, he would face excommunication for that offence, as would anyone breaking the rules, which also include not making pacts with other voters. Nor would a dead Pope be allowed to be swarmed over by priests, nuns and officials, nor laid out in his pyjamas.
