Next pope must unify deeply divided Church, say Vatican experts
With the Catholic Church preparing for its next papal conclave on Wednesday, Vatican analysts say cardinals are under pressure to elect a pope capable of bridging the growing divide between reformist and conservative wings of the Church.
The mourning period for Pope Francis, who died on April 21, ended on May 4. All eyes are now on the College of Cardinals, who will gather in the Sistine Chapel on May 7 to elect the next pope.
