Pope Benedict may change Church rules governing the conclave where
cardinals from around the world will meet next month to secretly elect
his successor, the Vatican said on Wednesday.
Benedict was studying the possibility of making changes to laws
established by his predecessor Pope John Paul before he abdicates on
February 28, a spokesman said.
The changes may affect the timing of the start of the conclave.
Current Church rules call for the conclave to start around March 15 but
there have been indications that it could be held earlier if the rules
are changed.
