Who could be the next Pope?
The Vatican convenes a papal conclave, in which the College of Cardinals come together to elect the Church’s next head.
The rules of the conclave, as of 22 January 2025, stated there are 138 electors of the 252 cardinals. Only those under the age of 80 may take part in the secret ballot in the Sistine Chapel.
Why not lower the bar of eligibility to 60 years of age? This will bring the shepherd closer in age to the flock he leads.
