Vatican City, May 7: A senior cardinal has urged the cardinals voting in a conclave to elect a pope who prizes unity in diversity, and puts personal interests aside.

Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the dean of the College of Cardinals, outlined the marching orders for the 133 men who will enter the Sistine Chapel later Wednesday to begin voting to elect a new pope.

In his sermon at the final pre-conclave Mass, Re reminded the cardinals that a conclave represented the highest human and church responsibility, and that they must set aside “every personal consideration.” He said the new pope must foster communion and unity within the church. (AP)
