Do the non-eligible cardinals go to the conclave?
Cardinals over the age limit to vote may enter the Conclave if they wish.
Do the Cardinals in the Conclave have to elect a pope from within other members of the voting conclave?
No, although they usually do; the only stipulation in Church law is that any Catholic male who has reached the age of reason, is not a heretic, is not in schism, and is not "notorious" for simony can be elected pope; although a non-Cardinal hasn't been elected to the See of Peter since the fourteenth century.
Has there ever been a pope who was not a cardinal?
Pope Urban VI, pope from 1378 to 1389, was the last non-cardinal to be elected as pope. Since the conclave method of electing a pope began there have been 6 non-cardinals elected . Actually, the election of Pope Celestine V was the last non-conclave election and Celestine V was a priest who was elected to end a stalemate that had gone on for over 2 years. He did not want the position and resigned a few months later. Prior to the conclave method of electing a pope there were a number of non-cardinal popes.
How many Cardinals are in the Catholic Church?
Canon law stipulates that there can be a maximum of 120 cardinals eligible to vote for a new Pope. There are currently more cardinals due to those over the age limit of 80 years. There are 209 cardinals of which 118 are under age 80 and eligible to vote in a papal conclave, as of January 26 2013. As of February 26 2013 the electors will fall to 117 with 92 non-electors and as a conclave will be called for a date after February 28 2013 when Benedict XVI resigns the numbers will 210 total because he will be a non-voting Cardinal amongst the 93 non-electors then, this would stay the same if the conclave starts before March 5 2013 but if called for date March 5 to 17 it will be 116 electors and 94 non-electors and if the date is March 18 to 20 will be 115 electors and 95 non-electors all assuming a Cardinal doesn't pass away.

How did Pope John Paul II influence non-Italians to want to run for pope?

How is the pope chosen?
Selecting a New PopeOn February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced he is resigning from his post effective February 28, 2013. This is the first time in more than 600 years a pope has abdicated. The next pope will be chosen in the same way previous popes have been chosen after one has died. 15 days after the previous Pope has died, or in this case resigned, the Camerlingo assembles the College of Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City. There are usually 4 "favourites" known as the prefereti. And although any male from the Catholic Church can be elected it is usually reserved for Cardinals.All potentials MUST be under 80. The offcial voting is done in a process called conclave liturally meaning "with key". The Cardinals (also non-voting cardinals and assistants to the cardinals may be inside conclave they are sworn to absolute secrecy) vote by secret ballot. Should the electoral process take more than a day, the cardinals have lodging at St. Martha's house. They are "sequestered" like a jury however, and have no contact with the outside world.All ballots are burned and if the vote has elected a new pope, this burning causes white smoke to float above the Vatican, signifying the world has a new pope. If the vote is unsuccessful, water or a chemical is added to the burning ballots to cause gray smoke to appear. This signifies a vote without an election.How a Papal Conclave works:• A pope dies and is buried (or in the case of Benedict, resigns)• The cardinals come to Rome for the conclave that will elect the new pope. The word conclave (Latin, cum • clavis, literally, "locked with the key") designates:• The place in a locked section of the Vatican where the cardinals under the age of eighty elect a new pope.• The actual gathering of the cardinals.• The conclave begins 15 to 20 days after the pope's death.• The cardinals pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit during a Mass• The cardinals, sealed in the Sistine Chapel, vote every morning and afternoon.• A two-thirds majority plus one is required for election for the first 30 ballots. After that, a simple majority is required.• After each vote, they burn the ballots and add special chemicals to make the smoke white or black.• Black smoke means no new pope yet.• White smoke announces the election of a new pope.• The cardinals may elect any fully initiated Catholic male over the age of 18.• They ask the one elected if he accepts. If he is already a bishop, then the moment he accepts, he is pope.

Can a Committee make a motion?
There is no such thing as a non-voting member. You are either a member or you are not a member. All members have full rights. Sometimes people think the Chair cannot vote unless there is a tie. The Chair has all the rights of other members, but usually abstains from voting to maintain impartiality. If you want to have such a thing as a non-voting member, define his or her rights in your bylaws.
