  • DAILY UPDATE: Cardinal Angelo Becciu withdraws from Conclave

    DAILY UPDATE: Cardinal Angelo Becciu withdraws from Conclave
    Apr 30 2025
    The Italian cardinal at the center of what many call the Vatican's "trial of the century" has announced his withdrawal from participating in the upcoming conclave to elect a new pope, citing "the good of the church." This ends days of drama that had overshadowed the proceedings following Pope Francis' death.
    Cardinal Angelo Becciu's status dominated discussions as questions swirled about whether he would participate in the May seventh conclave to elect Francis' successor. After his downfall in 2020, Becciu had initially said he would not participate in any future conclave. However, in recent days, he asserted his right to enter the Sistine Chapel alongside other cardinals.

    On Tuesday, the seventy-six-year-old Italian issued a statement through his lawyers saying: "Having at heart the good of the church, which I have served and will continue to serve with fidelity and love, as well as to contribute to the communion and serenity of the conclave, I have decided to obey as I have always done the will of Pope Francis not to enter the conclave while remaining convinced of my innocence."

  • DAILY UPDATE: Conclave to select new Pope begins May 7th, what to expect

    DAILY UPDATE: Conclave to select new Pope begins May 7th, what to expect
    Apr 29 2025
    The Vatican announced the conclave will begin on May 7th and will involve some 135 cardinals from across the world..The cardinals will gather for morning Mass at Saint Peter's Basilica, praying for the wisdom to make the right decision. They then will form a procession into the Sistine Chapel, where they will take an oath where they commit to secrecy and not to allow outside interests to sway their decisions.

    The master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations orders everyone who is not part of the conclave to leave. The master and a member of the clergy designated to lead a meditation remain.
    "This meditation focuses on the grave responsibility that rests upon the electors and the necessity of acting with pure intentions for the good of the Universal Church, keeping only God before their eyes," the Vatican says.

    The master and the meditation leader then leave. If voting begins on the afternoon of the first day, there will be only one ballot. On subsequent days, two ballots are held in the morning and two in the afternoon.

    The cardinals will vote by secret ballot, proceeding one by one up to Michelangelo's fresco of the Last Judgment to say a prayer and drop the double-folded ballot into a large chalice.

    Four rounds of balloting take place each day until a candidate receives two-thirds of the vote. The result of each ballot are counted aloud and recorded by three cardinals designated as recorders. If no one receives the necessary two-thirds of the vote, the ballots are burned in a stove near the chapel with a mixture of chemicals to produce black smoke.

    When a cardinal receives the necessary two-thirds vote, the dean of the College of Cardinals asks him if he is willing to serve. If he is, the new pope chooses a papal name and is dressed in papal vestments. The ballots of the final round are burned with chemicals producing white smoke to signal to the world the election of a new pope.

    French Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, will announce "Habemus Papam" − We have a pope − from the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica. The new pontiff then goes out onto the balcony and blesses the city of Rome and the entire world.

  • DAILY UPDATE: Pope Francis's Final Journey - A Humble Burial, Conclave Contenders, and Controversies Surrounding Mourning Rituals

    DAILY UPDATE: Pope Francis's Final Journey - A Humble Burial, Conclave Contenders, and Controversies Surrounding Mourning Rituals
    Apr 28 2025
    Pope Francis’s burial at the Basilica of St. Mary Major is a deeply personal tribute to his Ligurian roots, with a simple tomb crafted from slate stone, honoring his family’s homeland. The tomb bears only the Latin inscription "Franciscus" and a reproduction of his pectoral cross, reflecting his lifelong devotion to humility. Meanwhile, the world mourns his passing, and attention is shifting toward the upcoming papal conclave, where leading candidates, such as Pietro Parolin, Péter Erdő, and Luis Antonio Tagle, are in the running for the papacy.

    As the Vatican prepares for the conclave, a renewed interest in the film Conclave has sparked comparisons between its fictional characters and real-life papal contenders. The conclave will begin in early May, following the nine days of mourning.
    In Rome, an unexpected controversy arose when mourners took selfies with Pope Francis’s body, sparking tension and revealing the clash between centuries-old traditions and modern social media culture. Despite Pope Francis’s embrace of modern communication, the incident has raised questions about reverence in the age of smartphones.

    Meanwhile, in Argentina, Francis’s deep connection to his beloved San Lorenzo soccer club has taken on a symbolic significance, with the number on his membership card aligning eerily with the time of his death. Tributes to the Pope are flooding Buenos Aires, with discussions about naming a stadium in his honor and commemorations that blend mourning with celebration.
