  • After the death of Pope Francis, cardinals of the church will soon gather to pick the next pontiff, with many flocking to social media to share updates with the public.

The article from ABC News discusses how cardinals are increasingly using social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram to communicate and engage with the public ahead of the papal conclave. This shift is seen as a way to modernize the Church's image and reach a broader audience, especially younger demographics. Notable cardinals such as Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle and Cardinal Peter Turkson have been active on these platforms, sharing messages of hope and faith. The use of social media by cardinals is part of a broader trend within the Catholic Church to embrace digital communication, reflecting the influence of Pope Francis, who has been active on Twitter since 2012. This approach is seen as a strategic move to influence the upcoming conclave and shape the future direction of the Church.
