The next pope will face a Catholic Church in crisis.
Pope Francis’ tenure has been one of controversy, upheaval, and division.
Now, in the wake of his passing, the world asks: Who will be the next pope?
The next pope will have a monumental task — to either restore the faith to its traditional foundations or continue Francis’ progressive and divisive vision.
The battle for the soul of the church is underway.
Newsmax’s exclusive cover story, After Francis: The Next Pope, reveals the shocking truths behind Francis’ leadership and the candidates vying to replace him.
Will the cardinals elect a leader who will heal the fractures within the church, or will they double down on modernism?
We have the inside story.
A PONTIFICATE IN TURMOIL
Francis was elected on a mandate of reform, but his changes have left the church more divided than ever.
His papacy welcomed LGBTQ+ unions, weakened doctrinal authority, and shifted the church’s focus on leftist globalist policies.
Many Catholics feel abandoned, as Francis sidelined traditionalist clergy and courted approval from progressives who do not even practice the faith.
The fallout has been immense: declining church attendance, confusion in doctrine, and internal strife among bishops.
Under Francis, the Vatican formed close ties with the UN and global elites, pushing progressive agendas rather than focusing on the spiritual crisis gripping the faithful.
His reluctance to confront China’s persecution of Christians and his secretive 2018 deal with Beijing have sparked accusations that he has betrayed Catholic principles for political gain.
But the biggest battle is still to come.
With Francis’ passing, his influence is waning, and his successor will determine the church’s future.
Will the next pope return to tradition or continue down the path Francis paved?
