Vatican Prepares for May 7 Conclave| Vatican Firefighters Install Sistine Chapel Chimney
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.

Donald Trump is facing intense backlash after sharing an AI-generated image of himself in papal robes, just days after Pope Francisâ death. Trump had recently joked about wanting to become the next Pope, igniting further outrage. Critics called the move âdisrespectfulâ and ânarcissistic,â accusing him of mocking Catholic traditions and the late pontiff. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham added fuel by endorsing Trump as a âdark horseâ papal candidate. Trump attended Pope Francisâ funeral, but his social media post has drawn global condemnation and stirred debate about religious sensitivity and satire.

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.
