Before Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, Catholic cardinals reportedly consulted the 2024 film 'Conclave' ahead of the conclave to find Pope Francis' successor. According to Politico, a number of cardinals who are a part of the ongoing conclave that began Wednesday in Rome watched 'Conclave' as a, quote, "helpful research tool" to learn more about the process of selecting a new pope.

In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peterâs Basilica. Delivered in Italian and Spanish, his speech honored Pope Francis, emphasized humility, and called for a global mission of justice and dialogue. A son of Saint Augustine, he urged the Church to build bridges, embrace suffering, and become a community for all. With special greetings to his former diocese in Peru and invocations to Mary, Pope Leo sets a hopeful, bold tone for his papacy in uncertain times.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francisâ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIVâs papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

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 Avelineâs 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 Francisâ 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 â 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 Francisâ 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.

Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying theyâve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russiaâs pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence.
