A Family Of Seagulls Landed On The Vatican Roof During The Conclave, And They Completely Stole The Spotlight
A Family Of Seagulls Landed On The Vatican Roof During The Conclave, And They Completely Stole The Spotlight As you probably already heard, today marks the first day of the conclave — the sacred, centuries-old tradition where Catholic cardinals gather in total secrecy to elect a new pope.

It also all kicks off with prayers, ancient rituals, and a solemn oath of secrecy…as the world waits for the white smoke signifying that a new pope has been selected.
