VATICAN CITY (CNN) -- The College of Cardinals will begin a secret conclave April 18 to choose a successor to Pope John Paul II, a Vatican spokesman said Wednesday.
Also, the cardinals have opened and read John Paul's will, but its contents will not be published until Thursday, said spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
Before his death John Paul did not reveal any evidence that he had appointed a secret cardinal, Navarro-Valls said.
"I can confirm that the Holy Father, before dying, did not give a name for a cardinal, and this was also in 2003," he said. "So there's no further question on this."
By Vatican law, a conclave must begin no earlier than 15 days and no later than 20 days after the pontiff's death, which was April 2.
The 117 cardinals who are under 80 years of age are to gather at the Sistine Chapel, where they will cast secret ballots to choose a new pope.
Archbishop Pietro Marini said Tuesday a new rule instituted by John Paul II will give the cardinals more freedom to wander the Vatican during the conclave, but they still cannot talk with anyone outside their peers or receive any communication from outside until they have made a choice.
