	Universi Dominici Gregis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Universi Dominici Gregis is an Apostolic Constitution of the Roman Catholic Church issued by Pope John Paul II on February 22, 1996.
		Both of these methods have now been abolished: the rationale is that they tended to produce controversy, and in any case had not been used for some time (the last compromise election was of Pope John XXII in 1316, and the last affirmation (acclamation) election was of Pope Gregory XV in 1621).
		Also Universi Dominici Gregis provided that Cardinals would be housed in Domus Sanctae Marthae, a building with dormitory type accommodations built within the Vatican City.

		CONTACT ME On 22 February 1996, Pope John Paul II promulgated the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis in which he modified the norms governing the celebration of the Rite of Christian Burial for the Roman Pontiff as well as the procedures for the subsequent election of a new pope in conclave.
		Universi Dominici Gregis (hereafter UDG) is the current law of the Church and thus, the solemnities and canonical procedures surrounding the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of the next Successor of Saint Peter will be governed by the norms outlined below.
		The only ones who remain are the master of papal liturgical celebrations and the priest/bishop chosen to provide a meditation to the cardinal electors on the gravity of what they are about to do.

		The events to follow the death of Pope John Paul II are laid out by a script the pontiff drew up his 1996 "apostolic constitution," Universi Dominici Gregis, along with traditions set during previous turnovers.
		The first step will be for the cardinals of the Catholic Church to decide on the time of two events: the funeral and the start of the conclave, the gathering in which the cardinals will debate on and elect a new pope.
		The Universi Dominici Gregis law dictates that the pope must be buried between the fourth and sixth day after death, after his embalmed body has been on display at St. Peter's Basilica for mourners.

		The death of a pope triggers a rapid succession of ceremonies and rites dictated by papal decree and heavily influenced by centuries of tradition.
		In 1978, most electors' "cells" were constructed by stretching canvas over a metal framework and were sparsely furnished with only a bed, a wash stand, a crucifix and a kneeler.
		Universi Dominici Gregis directs that the cardinal electors are now to stay in Domus Sanctae Marthae (St. Martha's House), a five-story, 130-room guest house near St. Peter's which opened in 1996.

		In the norms for the election of a pope, the Holy Father entreated whoever is elected in the conclave, which began today, "not to refuse, for fear of its weight, the office to which he has been called, but to submit humbly to the design of the divine will."
		Also at the end of the election, the cardinal chamberlain will have written a document, which must be approved by the three assistant cardinals, in which he declares the result of the voting in each session.

	Death And Election: An Overview
		Each ballot is read aloud by the presiding Cardinal, who then pierces the ballot with a needle and thread, stringing all the ballots together and tying the ends of the thread to ensure accuracy and honesty.
