US EditionCardinal from Galveston-Houston Archdiocese to vote on next pope
- Following Pope Francis' death on April 21, 2025, cardinals, including a cardinal from the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese, met in Rome to prepare for the conclave to elect his successor.
- This gathering occurred because cardinals under 80, more than 120 electors among over 180 attendees, convene in general congregations to discuss church issues before the May 7 conclave.
- During the May 2 meeting, 25 cardinals addressed topics like clerical sexual abuse, financial scandals, evangelization, synodality, and reflections on recent pontificates and the Eucharist.
- Vatican firefighters installed a chimney on the Sistine Chapel roof connected to a stove where ballots will be burned; black smoke signals no pope elected, white smoke signals election, both using chemical additives.
- Two eligible cardinals, Antonio Cañizares Llovera and John Njue, announced they are too ill to participate, while Vatican press director Matteo Bruni confirmed all others arrived and denied reports of Cardinal Pietro Parolin's medical emergency.
