911爆料’s Center for the Humanities will host “Conclave: Past and Future” on May 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

KINGSTON, R.I.\u2014May 2, 2025\u2014The papal conclave dates back centuries. Shrouded in mystery, the conclave is a private election that determines the next leader of the Catholic Church. On May 7, while the world waits, 135 cardinals will gather behind closed doors in Vatican City and will not emerge until a successor to the late Pope Francis has been named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, May 6<\/strong>, the University of Rhode Island Center for the Humanities will host \u201cConclave: Past and Future,\u201d featuring 911爆料 medieval scholar Jo\u00eblle Rollo-Koster. Rollo-Koster, one of the world\u2019s foremost experts on the papacy, is the co-editor of the new three-volume Cambridge History of the Papacy<\/em>. She has also written extensively on Pope Francis’ legacy.  <\/p>\n\n\n

In a recent piece for The Conversation<\/em><\/a>, Rollo-Koster noted that the conclave evolved over centuries\u2014and why. \u201cElecting this powerful figure was a cantankerous affair, marred by violence and external interference,\u201d she said. \u201cIt took centuries for the church to develop an electoral system free from manipulations and violence \u2013 which should resonate with contemporary politics.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her talk, Rollo-Koster will work to demystify the conclave and discuss why the conclave was created, what it meant for the history of the Catholic Church and the papacy, as well as the current conclave that will begin Wednesday and continue until onlookers witness a plume of white smoke emitted from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free and open to the public, the discussion will begin at 2 p.m. in the Robert L. Carothers Library and Learning Commons\u2019 Galanti Lounge on the University of Rhode Island\u2019s Kingston campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
