Cardinals' Congregation

The Congregation of Cardinals, often referred to in the context of the Catholic Church, consists of senior church officials appointed by the Pope. They assist in governing the Church and are crucial in electing a new Pope during a conclave after a pope's death or resignation. This group includes cardinals from various regions and backgrounds, representing the global nature of the Church. Their responsibilities also involve advising the Pope, overseeing church matters, and participating in important decisions regarding doctrine and administration.
