Following the announcement of Pope Francis's death, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan was among the first American cardinals to travel to Rome. At Kennedy International Airport, he boarded a flight to facilitate his participation in significant ceremonies, including the funeral and conclave for electing the next pope. Notably, he reflected on his past conclave experience while preparing for an extended stay in Rome, indicating the gravity and importance of the upcoming events within the Catholic Church.
The police lined the departures curb, eyes peeled for the cardinal arriving any moment at Terminal 1 at Kennedy International Airport.
Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York was booked on AZ611, the 9:10 p.m. ITA Airways nonstop flight to Fiumicino Airport in Rome.
Of the 10 American cardinals who are part of the body that will elect the next pope, Cardinal Dolan was among the first to make his way to Rome.
This time, he expected to be there for several weeks through the funeral, conclave and installation of the next pope.
