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 — 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 Francis’ 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 Francis’ death. Trump had recently joked about wanting to become the next Pope, igniting further outrage. Critics called the move “disrespectful” and “narcissistic,” accusing him of mocking Catholic traditions and the late pontiff. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham added fuel by endorsing Trump as a “dark horse” papal candidate. Trump attended Pope Francis’ 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 Aveline’s 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 Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.

The 2025 papal conclave will be the largest in Catholic Church history, with 133 cardinals set to elect the successor to Pope Francis. Surpassing the previous record of 115 electors in 2013, this unprecedented gathering breaks past limits set by St. John Paul II. The vote begins May 7 in the Sistine Chapel. Cardinals from 71 countries will cast their ballots in secrecy, requiring a two-thirds majority—at least 89 votes—to select the 266th pope. This conclave marks a historic and globally diverse milestone for the Church’s future leadership.

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.

Just days before the conclave to elect the next pope, cardinals are confronting deep-rooted issues—ranging from clerical abuse scandals and financial instability to the growing need for unity and evangelization. Calls for both continuity with Pope Francis’s legacy and renewed clarity on doctrine and governance are dominating discussions. With a younger, more diverse group of electors and shifting global church demographics, the outcome of this pivotal conclave may signal a new chapter for the Catholic Church.

U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence. Former President Trump recently extended U.S. sanctions, citing national security concerns, while hinting at potential relief tied to the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
