Any male Catholic can be chosen to be pope. However, it has been hundreds of years since a non-cardinal was elected as pope. There are no nominations. The cardinals simply cast a vote for their favorite. The top voter getters are then subjected to more voting until one cardinal emerges with a 2/3 majority.
