Guantanamo.- From the iconic St. Peter’s Basilica in the heart of the Vatican, the Holy Mass for the election of the Roman Pontiff has just begun, presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals.

This sacred event not only marks a moment of deep spirituality for the Catholic Church, but also symbolizes a call for unity and social justice in a world marked by inequality and conflict.

The day began at 10:00 a.m. local time with the Mass celebrated by the 133 cardinal electors, joined by cardinals over 80, bishops, priests, religious, and the faithful.

This liturgical act seeks to invoke the wisdom and discernment necessary for the choice of the new pontiff.
