Pope to be elected by conclave starting May 7

ai generated text

Pope Francis died on April 21 at the age of 88. A conclave to elect his successor is set to begin on May 7, with 135 cardinals, all under the age of 80, eligible to take part. This will be the largest conclave in the history of the Catholic Church. The Sistine Chapel, where the conclave will take place, was closed to tourists to allow for preparation.

    1. We need a courageous leader, a bold one, capable of speaking forcefully, of holding the helm of the Church steady even in storms (...) offering stability in an era of great uncertainty.
    2. The future pope must have a universal heart, love all the continents. We must not look at colour, at origin, but at what is proposed.

    1. I believe that if Francis has been the pope of surprises, this conclave will be too, as it is not at all predictable.

    1. The role of the pope is to essentially hold us together and that's the grace we've been given from God.

    1. There are different opinions, but there is a more spiritual than political or combative climate.

    1. Of course, there may be some difficulties because the voters have never been so numerous and not everyone knows each other.

    1. We are in a period in which Catholicism is experiencing various polarisations, so I don't imagine it will be a very, very quick conclave.
