Papa Leon pune bazele viitorului conclav și numește 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 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 conclave in 2025. The appointment was made by six senior cardinals, indicating a desire for a long-term leader. Tagle's elevation follows a precedent set by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI after serving as Dean. Other candidates for the role included Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who remains a significant figure in the Vatican.
