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.

This conclave marks a historic and globally diverse milestone for the Church’s future leadership.

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.

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.
