From 15 hours of Wednesday to the end of the Conclave throughout the apostle’s capital, disabled mobile communications. This is done to exclude any leakage of information about the father’s choice.
In the Vatican on Wednesday, May 7, the work of mobile communications was completely suspended. This will not be the whole conclave, where the Cardinals will choose the new pope. This was reported by the WPRost, noting that this proposal expressed by the Vatican city-state administration was unique.
The mobile network signal will be disconnected throughout the Vatican, including St. Peter’s Square and the Sistine Chapel, where exactly the Cardinals will be collected for conclave. Earlier in the Vatican, they did not adjust to difficult technological restrictions during the Pontiff election.
As the Vatican’s power emphasizes, the task is to exclude any leakage of information about the internal discussions of the cardinals or the results of the votes before the official announcement of the new pope’s name.
The publication writes that this is not the Vatican’s first attempt to use technological means to maintain the secret, but this time we are discussing the complete stop of mobile communications, which has never happened. In previous conclaves, other methods were used: from jamming signals to the Sistine Chapel to internet blocking and ban mobile phones.
The signal -shutdown message was sent in advance by E -Mail officers. The exact time of the start of the restriction has been determined – at 15 hours on Wednesday – however, when the connection is exactly restored – it is unknown. This will only happen from St. Peter’s Cathedral balcony to officially announce the new dad’s election. It can happen both on the same day and in weeks.
According to canonical experts and digital security laws, such measures are greatly justified in modern technologies. Professor Andrea Grillo from the University of Papal University of St. Anselm in the comment of La Repubblica is mentioned: “At a time when information can spread in a second by wise time, a complete closure of communication is a necessity.”
The Vatican News supports this position, emphasizing that the conclave in the 21st century requires not only prayers, but also digital protection. Such a step symbolizes the separation of cardinals from the outside world and guarantees that no detail leaks to the official announcement.
For safety reasons, control steps are activated in the Vatican and the surrounding Roman areas: snipers are on duty, metal detectors are installed, the useless areas operate, and the air patrol the drones. Authorities are preparing for the potential to flow thousands of thousands of beliefs who can gather in St. Peter’s square after the appearance of white smoke.
Earlier it was reported that all the Cardinals to choose the next dad came to Rome.
