Cardinals will gather on May 7 for the conclave to select the new pope AFP As cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, thousands are doing so already, in a new video game that allows users to pick their favourites as the next pontiff. Almost 60,000 people have signed up to Fantapapa, an online game that plays on Italians' passion for football and the Church, since it launched after Pope Francis died last week, its creators said Tuesday. "People are intrigued by Vatican power dynamics," Pietro Pace, 42, one of the website's two founders, told AFP.
