The Vatican has announced that a papal conclave will begin on May 7 to elect a successor to Pope Francis, following his funeral attended by world leaders and mourners. Over 100 cardinals under the age of 80 will participate in this traditional and structured process in the Sistine Chapel, reflecting the Catholic Church's commitment to continuity and stability. The conclave's outcome will determine the new pope, who will emerge to greet the faithful in St. Peter's Square, marking a significant moment for the church's future leadership.
