Morning Opening: Extra Omnes
Today marks a significant day as 133 Catholic Cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel for the first time to determine the 267th successor of Saint Peter, a decision prompted by the passing of Pope Francis last month.
Conclave, one of the most captivating election processes globally, continuously draws attention from around the world. This is due to its tradition and the centuries-old mysteries surrounding the selection of the head of the 1.4 billion-strong Catholic Church.
Around 4:30 PM local time, the famous phrase “Extra Omnes” will signal the start of this secretive election process, which is exclusive to Cardinals.
Here’s the updated information for today.
