China’s state-sanctioned Catholic church has branded Pope Francis a “Western stooge” and criticized Vatican–Beijing agreements as threats to national sovereignty. Underground congregations are now pressing for unity despite strict party surveillance, while hardline officials accuse the late pontiff of meddling in Chinese religious policy. Human rights groups condemn the broader crackdown on Christians, even as experts like Michel Chambon praise Francis’s diplomatic reset with Beijing. With the next papal selection looming, Chinese Catholics face a pivotal choice between state control and underground solidarity.

The Second General Congregation of Cardinals convened at the Vatican as the Catholic Church enters the Novemdiales—the ancient nine-day mourning period for the late Pope Francis. Held in the Synod Hall with 103 cardinals present, the meeting began with prayers and preparations for the Church’s transition. A commission of three cardinals was selected to aid the Camerlengo during the sede vacante. Around 20,000 faithful have paid their respects. As the world watches, the path to the next papal election quietly begins in Rome.

Former President Donald Trump held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The two leaders reportedly discussed the ongoing deadlock in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and future U.S.-Israel cooperation. Trump’s explosive tweet—“We are on the same side of every issue”—has triggered intense speculation: is Trump backing a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The call came just days after indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Rome and with mounting Israeli pressure for a tougher American stance. As the world watches closely, are we on the brink of a new Middle East confrontation?
