What is the location of where the cardinals vote for the pope?
They stay in Casa Di Santa Marta which was constructed specifically to house the cardinals during a conclave. It gives them a bit more comfort than the dark and dank cells they formerly occupied in the Sistine Chapel but still keeps them sequestered from having any outside contact.
Why was the Sistine Chapel important to the people of the Renaissance?
The history behind the Sistine Chapel makes it appealing for history buffs and catholic pilgrims alike. The Chapel's dimensions are taken directly from the Old Testament - the temple of Solomon. The Chapel is the venue for the conclave. When a pope dies, another is chosen during a meeting of the college of cardinals called a conclave. It's the pope's chapel, and is still used as a chapel. The Chapel is highly decorated with many frescoes and other artworks commissioned by different popes during the 14-1500's. Some of the artworks were completed by some of the greatest renaissance artists. The most famous painting being the ceiling frescoed by Michelangelo and arguably the most famous and renowned artwork of the renaissance.

Is a new pope chosen by God or cardinals?
A:The cardinals choose the new pope. The election takes place in the Sistine Chapel. The cardinals come to the altar one by one and swear to make the right choice, effectively acknowledging they do have free choice. After all the cardinals have taken the oath, the Master of the Papal Liturgical Celebrations orders all individuals other than the cardinals electors and conclave participants to leave the Chapel. There will be no speeches during the conclave and no promises sought or made. All debate and barracking will have taken place in the weeks leading up to the conclave.According to doctrine, the conclave is guided by God. But, as one cardinal told the National Catholic Reporter's John Allen, "I was never whapped on the head by the Holy Spirit. I had to make the best choice I could, based on information available."AnswerThis is a question like "Do you walk to school or carry your lunch?" The probability (at least back in my day) was that the answer was, "Well, both." Catholic belief holds that the Cardinals meet in the Conclave, pray the Mass of the Holy Spirit daily, and try to do the Will of God. God works through all of us daily, minute by minute, the only question is are we going to cooperate with Him or not. Most of us know God's Will for us through outside forces, what you might call common sense. It depends on how you see the world. Through a Catholic's eyes, the Cardinals are meeting and praying that so whatever they do WILL be the WILL of God, in that sense, to the extent that they are themselves trying to do the Will of God, then that is what it will be. The Will of God is not something magical, it is human life.
What was Michelangelo do when hired by the church to paint the Sistine Chapel?
It was the other way around. Michelangelo had to be persuaded and convinced to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
