Papal implicit): intrigue, scandals and black smoke fill the Vatican sky

The Vatican is on fire from controversy, since the excited conclusion to choose the next Pope, in the middle of a background of intensive lobbying, scandal and intrigue.

In a gripping performance of power and secrecy, 133 cardinals entered the Sistine chapel on Wednesday afternoon to maintain the Holy Ritual. The atmosphere was tense when the cardinals made their oath of confidentiality under the watchful eyes of Michelangelo's iconic frescoes.

When the world watched with breath, the first round began and signaled the beginning of a process that was wrapped in the secret and tradition. With black smoke that turned out of the chimney and signaled a non -coherent ballot, the voltage only reinforced.

In the middle of the background of a shared church under the leadership of Pope Francis, the tensions were high when the political groups competed for influence and control over the future of papacy. The global church dealt with deep -seated disagreements, especially with regard to questions of progressivism and tradition.

Names of potential leaders appeared, with numbers like Cardinal Mario Grech and Cardinal Robert Prevost gaining a new era as potential candidates. These individuals represented different visions for the future of Catholicism, from greater inclination to the bridging of ideological distinctions.

However, the path to the papacy is contested with challenges and obstacles, as can be seen in the case of Pietro Parolin, whose candidacy was opposed to skepticism and opposition from different quarters. The time before the conclave was characterized by unexpected twists and twists, including the withdrawal of Giovanni Angelo Becciu due to a scandal in which the Vatican means were involved.

While the consequence behind closed doors unfolds, the world anxiously waits for the treacherous sign of the white smoke, which will announce the choice of the new Pope. The operations are high and the result remains uncertain because the church is on the edge of a new chapter in its famous story.
