Abstract

The Vatican's cardinals' assembly, the General Congregation, has set May 7 as the start date for the secretive election to choose the next pope following Pope Francis' passing on April 21. Over 100 senior clergy members will participate in the conclave in the Sistine Chapel, with discussions and balloting taking place until a candidate receives two-thirds of the votes. Speculation surrounds potential candidates like Pietro Parolin, Raymond Leo Burke, Peter Turkson, and Luis Tagle, but the outcome remains uncertain until the traditional white smoke signals the selection of a new pope.
