A moment steeped in centuries of tradition: The Catholic faithful lined up for hours to pay their final respects to "the people's pope," Pope Francis. While the tradition of laying a pope to rest dates back centuries, Pope Francis opted to break with certain customs. He departed the world as he lived in it, simply and with humility. Now, the College of Cardinals prepares for its next task to elect a successor. It's a tradition shrouded in secrecy known as the Conclave. It has been 12 years since the Catholic Church appointed a pope. The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI led to the last conclave, which was also historic as it marked the first time in almost 600 years that a pope voluntarily stepped down. Monsignor Rick Hilgartner, from St. Joseph Parish, joins 11 TV Hill to share some insight into the election of the next pope.
