Here is the surprising effect that Pope Francis's death had online

The death of Pope Francis has lit a widespread curiosity of the online newcomers about the process of choosing the next leader of the Catholic Church.

Francis died on April 21 and the Roman Catholic cardinals are currently choosing a new Pope in the Sistine chapel of the Vatican.

This choice with the death of the Pope drove an increase in views of 3.200% for the Amazon Prime film “Conclave”, which examines the secret papal election process, Harry Duck, the chief data analyst of CNN.

“I saw it. I thought it was a pretty damn good film,” said duck.

Beyond the AMAZON PRIME, Wikipedia also recorded a significant increase in the number of spectators for his conclave page after Francis' death. The average views rose to 114,000, which corresponds to a jump from an average of 16,000 before death.

“The conclusion is that we are ready,” said duck. “The conclave is about to start a new Pope, hopefully soon enough, but of course in politics and in Pope elections that they never know.”
