When the Pope dies and before the new Pope is crowned who does God speak to? (assuming God communicates with the Pope)

The Magisterium of the Church is considered infallible. That is, the pope and all the bishops in Communion with him.
A Cardinal is a bishop who has been given the privilege of electing future popes, and possibly being elected as pope himself.
When a pope passes away, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church gather in the Vatican to elect a new pope. In the absence of a pope, it is the Cardinals running the Church. Therefore, the Caridnals - guided by the Holy Spirit, elect a new pope. This action, by it's very nature, is an infallible act collective of all the Cardinals of the Church.

What makes you think God speaks to the pope.

im not catholic but id just like to say that god talks to everyone all the time, not just the pope. Its just that we dont realise it and it can be in simple little ways like hearing particular lyrics to a song at the right time, or picking up a book that has a messege you didnt even know you needed.
Thanks, just wanted to give you another option to consider.

Did god forgive the current pope for being the go-to guy for all of the priest sexual abuse cases, and organizing the church's cover-up?

quite slightly. The Catholic Church hasn't ever requested unmarried human beings to have unprotected sex. Neither has she requested married couples with ailments to have unprotected sex. Judeo-Christian custom has taught for thousands of years: a million. unmarried human beings should be celibate. 2. Married human beings should be committed to at least one yet another (adultery is incorrect). 3. Married couples might want to welcome God's present of toddlers and, for this reason, synthetic birth control is hostile to the favor of God. If the international is going to push aside teachings about chastity (a million & 2), then why is the international so dissatisfied about training synthetic birth control (3)? those who're already ignoring the added significant teachings about chastity (a million and a couple of) might want to haven't any issue ignoring the a lot less significant training of man made birth control (3). regardless of if someone contaminated with AIDS develop into to apply a condom to help seem after his or her major different, condoms are literally not one hundred% efficient (examine the container) and the major different might want to be contaminated and die besides. someone who really loves their major different would not endanger them in this kind. with reference to sex outdoors of marriage, the Church makes it a prepare now to not tell human beings the thanks to sin. with or and not using a condom: • Fornication continues to be fornication • Adultery continues to be adultery • Rape continues to be rape With love in Christ.

The Holy Spirit is always present in the Catholic Church

I think you are trying to instigate something, because you'd have to be in isolation to think that we believe that kind of crap. Oh wait, maybe you're a fundamentalist?
