It's time to elect a new pope. Hundreds of thousands of people
gather in front of St. Peter's Basilica to learn who will be the
next leader of the Catholic Church. A white puff of smoke from a
chimney signals the cardinals - the "princes" of the church - have
elected one of their own who will continue to be the leader of the
faith that has been around for more than two thousand years. Author
Megan Stine charts the beginning of Christianity and its hold on
members of the faith as well as the countless struggles for power
(one pope was poisoned by his own men!), the building of the
Vatican and creation of the Sistine Chapel, and the Secret Archives
that hold papers the church has accumulated over the centuries.
