Pope Francis critical: What happens when a pope dies?

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 25 February 2025
​When a pope dies, his death is officially confirmed by a Vatican doctor and the Camerlengo (Cardinal Chamberlain), who temporarily takes charge of the church’s administration. Historically, the Camerlengo would tap the pope’s forehead with a small silver hammer and call his name three times to ensure he was truly deceased. While this ritual is no longer followed, the Camerlengo still plays a crucial role. His immediate duties include securing the pope’s private apartments, destroying the Fisherman’s Ring to prevent forgery, and beginning the process of planning for the funeral and the election of a new pope.
