Some controversial issues await the new pope as Vatican staff swore oath for 2025 CENDAVE

Vatican City – All Vatican employees who will participate 2025 Conference From cleaners to chefs and trustees, the successor of the late Pope Francis was sworn in. The punishment for leaking information about ancient Catholic rituals is immediate deportation.

133 main voters are in charge Election of the next pope As the meeting begins, it will be sworn in at the Sistine Church on Wednesday.

They all arrived in the Vatican for a party, and this week they would attend meetings every day, where they discussed the merits of men in their ranks – any one can be chosen as the next pope.

Starting Wednesday, cardinal voters will gather in the church beneath Michelangelo's famous fresco of the Last Judgment to decide who should lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.

In the distinction The supposed leader Because this work is some extremely controversial topic for Catholics, including that the church should open the door (if any) to people like Andrea Rubera, his husband and their three children.

“I cried when Pope Francis passed away,” Rubera, who had been in a same-sex relationship for many years, told CBS News.

Ten years ago, Rubera and his husband were struggling with whether they could raise children Catholics. Then he received the call.

“So I answered, and that's: 'Mr. Rubera, you're busy at the moment because I see you're not answering my phone call, it's Pope Francis.'”

He recalls his surprise when the late Pontive asked him if he could take the time to speak. He did, and Francis encouraged the couple to act like any other Catholic family. Rubera said he was worried that the next pope might not be too eager to welcome him and his family into the church.

“My personal fear is that our lives, our families, our rights may be cancelled,” he said.

Another big problem facing the next pope will be the role of women in the church. There has been a heated debate in the Catholic community over the years on whether women should be allowed to become deacons, or even women should be allowed. Even during the reign of Pope Francis, that door remained firmly closed.

But, Kate McElwee, executive director of the Women’s Diocese Conference, told CBS News: “Women are not waiting longer on this issue.”

“Of course there is a turning point,” she said, predicting that if the Catholic Church does not offer new opportunities soon, I think women will vote with their feet – they will no longer go to church life. ”

When choosing the new pope Behind the closed door of the meeting, he would take the name of the pope of his choice and be taken to a crown at the Sistine Church and put on his white robe of the pope.

That fit chamber was called “La Stanza Delle LaCrime”, or in English as “Tear chamber”, because all the popes cried there for centuries as the gravity of their calling sinks.
