💨 Abstract

The Associated Press reported on May 5, 2025, that 135 cardinals aged 80 and under, hailing from 71 countries, will participate in the Vatican's conclave to elect a new pope for the 1.4-billion strong Catholic Church. The cardinals' geographic diversity reflects their varied concerns, such as liturgy, war-torn regions, or persecuted churches.
