The most heterogeneous conclave in history will take place on May 7 at the Vatican. On this occasion, cardinals from 70 countries will participate, registering the smallest number of Italians in the history of these meetings.
This conclave seeks the so-called 'kingmakers', recognized figures who can unite votes around a candidate. The diversity of nationalities present at this meeting adds a novel element to the election of the new pontiff.
According to statements from an expert in Vatican matters, "strategies to achieve consensus have been adapting over the years, and this time, with such a varied representation of countries, it will be interesting to see how the process unfolds".
The gathered cardinals will have the responsibility of selecting the leader of the Catholic Church at a crucial moment, where it is expected that their figure will be a beacon of hope and guidance in a world full of challenges and changes.
