VIDEO: Sistine Chapel Chimney SET UP For May 7 Conclave | World Awaits New Pope Announcement
The world is watching as the iconic chimney atop the Sistine Chapel is readied to signal the election of a new Pope.
Starting May 7, the conclave will take place, with cardinals gathering in secrecy to elect a successor to St.
Peter.
The chapel is undergoing final preparations, including setting up essential systems and translation services, while the cardinals prepare to vote after a sacred prayer ceremony.
Once the new Pope is elected, the world will await the smoke and bells announcing the choice of the new leader of the Catholic Church.
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.

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.
