May the Holy Spirit lead the cardinals in the conclave to select a Pope to lead God's people, especially at this time in our society, when traditions and norms are being suppressed by too much liberal ideologies.

Sir, there's ojoro in that conclave of a thing.
Why are they changing the dates of birth of 2 African Cardinals already?
Anyway, there won't be any 'go to court' after the conclave
@kcemenikex
I hope the next pope takes the global Christian genocide more seriously.
@Ejykman
We need a Pope in the form of Pope Saint John Paul II.

May the Holy Spirit of God lead and guide them in Jesus name, amen 🙏
