JAKARTA - Pope Francis' funeral plans for World Catholic Church leader will be discussed at a meeting of the Cardinals on Tuesday.
All cardinals currently in Rome, Italy have been invited to gather at the Vatican at 09.00 a.m. local time, where they are expected to make a funeral plan, reported by Reuters on April 22.
The Vatican said it expected the funeral ceremony to take place between Friday or Sunday, with the Pope's last will born with the name Jorge Mario Bergoglio released on Monday saying he wanted to be buried in St. Maria Mayor's Basilica (Basilika Papal Santa Maria Maggiore), Rome, Italy, and not in St. Peter's Basilica.
The cardinals' meeting will also review the daily course of the Church in the period before the new Pope is elected.
Meanwhile, Konklaf to choose a new whale usually lasts 15 to 20 days after the death of a whale, which means it will not start before May 6.
Quoted from NBC News about 135 cardinals under the age of 80 are entitled to vote in the new Pope election. The process went on very secret and could last for days.
Currently, there are no clear candidates to replace Pope Francis.
