So Pope Benedict XVI resigned.  What will happen to the office of the pope?  Someone must sit in the Chair of Peter.  Who?  How will the Church decide?  This infographic first published on http://dailyinfographic.com/ will hopefully clear up the how.  We will only know the who when we see the white smoke.

Taken from Word Among Us blog. To All Our Brothers and Sisters: As you probably know, Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will resign at the end of this month....The weight of responsibility that he has carried on his shoulders these past eight years is simply overwhelming. ... Throughout his papacy, and especially during this Year of Faith, Pope Benedict was persistent in his call for Catholics to commit themselves to a New Evangelization. Here again, as in so many other ways, we see the Holy Father’s desire to encourage us to live for Jesus and to further the mission of the Church.
