Award-winning author Greg Tobin offers a compelling guide to what is sure to be one of the most important and headline-making events in modern history—the election of the next pope.

You’ll discover:

  • Why the election always concludes with the rising of white smoke
  • What powers the cardinals hold during the vacancy of the Holy See
  • Pope John Paul II’s startling changes to the centuries-old election process
  • A day-by-day account of the balloting inside the Sistine Chapel
  • How the electors should behave during the conclave—even their “dress code”
  • A look at the list of probable successors to John Paul II


Selecting the Pope is an indispensable handbook for anyone, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, who wishes to understand the extraordinary process of electing the world’s most influential religious leader.
