In a pivotal moment for the Catholic Church, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re emphasized the urgency of selecting a new pope who can lead through complexity and foster unity. As the Conclave begins with 133 cardinals, Re, though unable to vote, urged his peers to prioritize the church's needs over individual interests. He stressed the importance of diversity within unity, reflecting on Pope Francis' legacy and the prospects of candidates like Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle, alongside more conservative options like Fridolin Ambongo and Péter ErdÅ.
The cardinals choosing the next pope should select the person best suited to lead the church through a "difficult and complex" time, a senior Vatican official has said.
This is a strong call to maintain the unity of the church ... a unity that does not mean uniformity, but a firm and profound communion in diversity.
