The Vatican has announced a date for the conclave to select Pope Francis’ replacement.
The Vatican said the conclave will meet on Wednesday, May 7 to begin the process for the selection of a new Pope. Cardinals are expected to convene at the Vatican to begin the process of finding a new pope, who will become the Catholic Church’s 267th leader.
Recall that with the passing of Pope Francis, who presided over the Roman Catholic Church for 12 years, attention has been turned to the selection of his successor.
As part of the process, a conclave is to be held to determine a new pontiff as usually done after a pope’s death or retirement. Pope Francis had been selected during a conclave after Pope Benedict XVI, citing age and faltering health, stepped down from the post in 2013 after eight years as pontiff.
It was the first time any pope had stepped down from the papacy in nearly six centuries.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
