Papal Conclave: Macron Accused of Meddling in Papal Conclave to Push French Cardinal for Next Pope?

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. #Macron #PapalConclave #PopeElection #Vatican #JeanMarcAveline #CatholicChurch #PopeFrancis #France #Italy #HolySee #SantEgidio #VaticanPolitics #Conclave2025 #Cardinals #PapalSuccession #PopeNews #Rome #MacronScandal #ChurchInfluence #WorldNews Also Read Pope finds compatible clergy in Global South :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-finds-compatible-clergy-in-global-south-3453599.html?ref=DMDesc With a confluence of two events under one roof, India to host over 50 political, economic leaders :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/with-a-confluence-of-two-events-under-one-roof-india-to-host-over-50-political-economic-leaders-3430539.html?ref=DMDesc IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to inaugurate 3rd edition of NIC Tech Conclave in New Delhi :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/it-minister-ashwini-vaishnaw-to-inaugurate-3rd-edition-of-nic-tech-conclave-in-new-delhi-3378452.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~

The White House sparked online backlash on May 4th—Star Wars Day after posting an AI-generated image of Donald Trump as a Jedi. But instead of being seen as a heroic figure, Trump’s depiction with a red lightsabre a color reserved for villains in the Star Wars universe led fans and critics to call him a Sith. The symbolic gaffe followed another viral AI image showing Trump as the Pope just days after Pope Francis's death, prompting further outrage. The missteps have reignited debates on AI, politics, and pop culture symbolism in presidential messaging. #TrumpJediFail #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th #RedSabre #SithLordTrump #WhiteHouseAI #TrumpAI #PopeTrump #JediOrSith #AIBacklash #TrumpMemes #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsMeme #USPolitics #TrumpMockery #AIArtFail #PresidentialPR #SocialMediaBuzz #WhiteHouseControversy #PopCulturePolitics Also Read Trump to Slap 100% Tariff on All Films Made Outside the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-slap-100-tariff-on-all-films-made-outside-the-us-4143503.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says He Will Reopen Alcatraz Prison :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-he-will-reopen-alcatraz-prison-4143493.html?ref=DMDesc Why Donald Trump's Trade Tariffs Are Threat To Global Food Security :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-are-threat-to-global-food-security-4142083.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~
