For my 6th grade religion class, I must provide the process of the election of the Pope. Can anyone help me find this info?

I answered this question once before under the sub topic of this heading of "questions for the pope"

Or you could go to your local library and look it up! Try under the topic of Vatican or Pope or College of Cardinals ...Now there is a concept...real research!

There is a complete description of the process as well as a copy of the new document by the Pope completely rewriting the existing rules at The Catholic Pages.

You are unlikely to find this information in a book yet because the Pope changed the rules in early 1996.
