Pope extends Cardinal Re’s term as dean of the College of Cardinals, a key role in papal elections.

The Pope extended the term of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re as dean of the College of Cardinals amid increased interest in papal elections due to the Oscar-nominated film "Conclave." The movie highlights the dean's key role during the transition of papacies. This decision was unexpected, as Re's term was set to end soon, and it is unclear if the extension will be temporary or for another full five-year term.
