Singaporean Priest Explains the Mysterious Path to Becoming Pope

Singaporean Priest Explains the Path to Becoming Pope A recent video featuring Fr. Jovita Ho, Church Historian and Parish Priest at St Anne's Church in Singapore, has shed light on the often-misunderstood process of electing a new Pope. Fr. Ho explains that the process is less about political maneuvering and more about a spiritual selection guided by the Holy Spirit. "It's not something political, but really a movement of the spirit," he states in the video. He details the necessary steps, starting with ordination as a priest, followed by becoming a bishop, and finally, a cardinal. A key requirement, Fr. Ho emphasizes, is that candidates must be unmarried. The video includes excerpts from the movie 'Conclave' to illustrate the selection process, adding a visual dimension to the explanation. Fr. Ho's insights offer a clear and concise understanding of a complex and significant event in the Catholic faith.
