The Role of Secrecy and Gender Rules
The cardinals are forbidden to communicate with anyone from the outside world until the new pontiff is chosen. Should a cardinal break this rule, he will be excommunicated. A woman cannot serve as pope because the candidate must be an ordained priest, and under Catholic doctrine, women are barred from doing so. (Photo: AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)
