The selection method of the pope in Vatican City is known as a papal conclave. After the death or resignation of a pope, the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new pope, typically in the Sistine Chapel. The election requires a two-thirds majority vote, and once a candidate is chosen, he is asked if he accepts the position and chooses a papal name. The new pope is then announced to the public from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
it basically means that any new Pope who becomes Pope represents new Pope.
