Papa Leon pune bazele viitorului conclav și a numit un cardinal filipinez decan al Colegiului

Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as the new Dean of the College of Cardinals, enhancing his candidacy for future papacy. Tagle, 69, replaces 92-year-old Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re and plays a crucial role in the papal transition process. His new position increases his visibility as a potential candidate for the papacy, especially for the upcoming conclave. The Vatican's announcement indicates that Tagle was chosen by six senior cardinals, suggesting a long-term role. This appointment follows a precedent set by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI after serving as Dean. Other candidates, like Cardinal Pietro Parolin, were also considered for the role.
