Pope's calls doctors who perform abortions 'hitmen,' sparking online furore
It was the second time in as many weeks that Francis has been asked about his views on abortion, which remains a hotly-contested issue for the Catholic Church
Cardinal Angelo Becciu has officially withdrawn from the May 7 papal conclave under intense legal and ethical scrutiny. Once a top Vatican official, Becciu was convicted of embezzlement and now steps aside โfor the good of the Church,โ following Pope Francisโ private instructions barring his vote. His dramatic exit reshapes the high-stakes race to succeed Pope Francis. With 135 electors under 80 years old set to vote in the Sistine Chapel, Cardinals Parolin, Tagle, Zuppi, and Turkson emerge as key contenders to lead 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.
