SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV) -

Ever wonder how a Pope is chosen?

Bishop Heelan Catholic High School students having been finding the answer in one of their classes.

As apart of Father Pat Behm's Peace and Justice class, students are studying about authority within the Church along with the Conclave process.

They've also talked about where the next Pope might be from.

Father Behm's best guess, Australia.

Despite who's chosen, one student says she's excited about the whole selection process.

"I think it's kind of exciting.  I mean, it's not something that people get to experience very often. This is the second time in my life that I remember having it happen.  And, I mean, being such a worldwide, important decision, it's definitely a really big deal," said Emily Vondrak, Bishop Heelan Senior.

Cardinals will meet on Monday at the Vatican to discuss a timeline for the Conclave.
