@churchheadlines: For the first time in history, a Filipino cardinal has been elected Dean of the College of Cardinals! Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle was elected on October 8, 2026, and Pope Leo XIV approved his appointment. He succeeds Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who is retiring at the age of 92. But what does the Dean of the College of Cardinals actually do? Among his responsibilities, he coordinates certain activities of the College and, when a Pope dies, summons the cardinals to Rome and presides over the conclave. A historic moment for the Catholic Church and the Philippines!
