Vatican Conclave: Cardinal Becciu Quits Papal Vote Amid Controversy, 135 Cardinal to Elect New Pope

Cardinal Angelo Becciu has officially withdrawn from the May 7 papal conclave under intense legal and ethical scrutiny.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 “for the good of the Church,” following Pope Francis’ 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.

Trump Welcomes to 'White' Refugees After Harsh U.S Immigration Crackdown – Media Cries 'Hypocrisy'

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants.

Can Pope Leo Xiv Lose US Citizenship After Becoming Vatican’s American-Born Head Of State?US-Vatican

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status. #PopeLeoXIV #VaticanCity #USCitizenship #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #HolySee #CatholicChurch #PapalElection #DualCitizenship #VaticanNews #USLaw #CitizenshipReview #PopeAndPolitics #ChurchAndState #PeterSpiro #PapalHistory #PeruCitizenship #ConstitutionalLaw #USStateDepartment #InternationalLaw ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Lavrov REJECTS Pope's Offer To Host Russia-Ukraine Talks, Calls Vatican 'Unsuitable…' For Mediation

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur. #RussiaUkraineWar #Lavrov #VaticanPeaceTalks #PopeLeoXIV #UkraineCrisis #PeaceNegotiations #GiorgiaMeloni #OrthodoxChurch #CatholicChurch #RussiaUkraineConflict #LavrovStatement #PeaceDeal #VaticanOfferRejected #WarMediation #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #UkraineOrthodoxChurch #PopeLeoPeace #InternationalDiplomacy #HolySee Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~
