PHOTO: Waiting for the new pope

A nun talks on her cellphone outside a church as cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, on March 11, in Rome. Cardinals are set to enter the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI after he became the first pope in 600 years to resign from the role. The conclave is scheduled to start on Tuesday inside the Sistine Chapel and will be attended by 115 cardinals as they vote to select the new pope. (Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
