EGYPT
Ahram
For the first time in 50 years, Egypt’s Catholic Church will take part in the upcoming papal elections in the Vatican.
Spokesman of Egypt’s Coptic Catholic Church Father Rafiq Greish announced Saturday that the Church’s archbishop, Patriarch Antonios Naguib, will head to the Vatican Tuesday to attend the Papal conclave of the College of the Cardinals, during which the next Pope will be elected.
Bishop Antonios was appointed as a member of the College of Cardinals by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.
