The new pope faces the challenging task of fostering unity within a divided church while engaging with external global issues. Observers are concerned about potential schism following contrasting papacies of Benedict XVI and Francis. A priority may be the healing of divisions within the American Catholic Church, especially given differing views among US bishops. The pope's role extends to global matters like climate change, migration, and human rights, calling for moral influence in navigating political divides, particularly during Trump's presidency and in light of ongoing international conflicts.
The new pope's ability to unify a divided church and engage on pressing global issues will be crucial in navigating the complexities of the 21st century.
The next pope will have to balance support for traditionalists and progressives while dealing with polarizing issues such as migration and climate change.
