Just days before the conclave to elect the next pope, cardinals are confronting deep-rooted issues—ranging from clerical abuse scandals and financial instability to the growing need for unity and evangelization. Calls for both continuity with Pope Francis’s legacy and renewed clarity on doctrine and governance are dominating discussions. With a younger, more diverse group of electors and shifting global church demographics, the outcome of this pivotal conclave may signal a new chapter for the Catholic Church.

Donald Trump is facing intense backlash after sharing an AI-generated image of himself in papal robes, just days after Pope Francis’ death. Trump had recently joked about wanting to become the next Pope, igniting further outrage. Critics called the move “disrespectful” and “narcissistic,” accusing him of mocking Catholic traditions and the late pontiff. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham added fuel by endorsing Trump as a “dark horse” papal candidate. Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral, but his social media post has drawn global condemnation and stirred debate about religious sensitivity and satire.

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.

As the Vatican prepares for the May 7 conclave to elect a new pope following the death of Pope Francis, a major milestone was reached with the installation of the Sistine Chapel chimney. Vatican firefighters mounted the symbolic chimney on Friday — the structure through which black or white smoke will signal the outcome of the secret papal vote. Cardinals from around the world, including those over 80 who cannot vote, have gathered for pre-conclave discussions addressing the Church's future, internal reforms, and the legacy of Francis’ transformative papacy. All eyes now turn to the Sistine Chapel, where tradition and suspense converge in a centuries-old ritual of choosing the next leader of the Catholic Church.

In a stunning revelation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described his unexpected meeting with Donald Trump at Pope Francis' funeral as the "best ever." Sources suggest the high-stakes conversation may have influenced Trump's dramatic shift in stance on the Russia-Ukraine war — including the U.S. greenlighting a $310 million F-16 deal for Ukraine.
