The next Pope should continue Pope Francis’ legacy of reaching out to all people, including those who are not Christians, and to “mirror Christ to all”, say Singapore Catholics as cardinals around the world prepare for the upcoming conclave.
The president of the Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, has said, “The election of a pope is not a political contest.”
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has appealed to the public to refrain from campaigning for Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle as the next pope, citing concerns about potentially undermining the integrity of the papal conclave.
