Cardinals from around the world meet at The Vatican as process to select next pope begins
Cardinals from around the world met on Tuesday for a general congregation, to discuss the conclave that will see the next Pope elected.
About 135 cardinals under the age of 80, from all corners of the world, are eligible to take part in the vote for the next head of the 1.4-billion-member Church, which is beset by concerns over its finances and divisions over doctrine.
The previous two conclaves, held in 2005 and 2013, lasted just two days but there have been suggestions that things might take longer this time.
Some of the cardinals appointed by Francis, who appointed many cardinals from countries who had never had them before, had not previously met.
