Neither Paris nor Milan will have direct representation in the Conclave to elect Pope Francis’s successor.
Paris’s Archbishop Laurent Ulrich is not a cardinal, and Milan’s Archbishop Mario Delpini likewise lacks the cardinalate.
During his 12-year papacy, Pope Francis never visited Paris. A notable absence, given the city’s profound historical and cultural significance within the Catholic Church.
Instead, he prioritized visiting places aligned with his vision of a ‘Church of the peripheries,’ focusing on marginalized communities and often-overlooked regions. (Redazione)
