Two-thousand years ago, Jesus commissioned Peter to be the "rock" on which the Church would be built. Since then, there have been just over 260 men elected Supreme Pontiff. But many Catholics aren't familiar with the traditions involved in the transfer of apostolic authority when a pope dies or, more rarely, resigns. Choosing a New Pope: Guided By the Holy Spirit is an easy-to-read, comprehensive pamphlet that walks the reader through the various rituals involved in the resignation or death and burial of a pope, and the process of electing a new one.
