Conservative Catholics' Influence on Selecting the Next Pope

Conservative Catholics from America, including wealthy MAGA supporters, traveled to Rome to influence the selection of the next Pope after the death of Pope Francis. President Trump made controversial remarks and an AI-generated image suggesting he wanted to be Pope. The Catholic Church traditionally avoids choosing a Pope from superpower nations to prevent politicization. The conclave to elect the new Pope is underway with cardinals from 70 countries participating.
