On May 8th, a striking international gathering took place in front of Germany’s iconic Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) — a towering symbol of Catholic faith and European heritage.

As the conclave in the Vatican unfolds, missionary work announcing Abdullah Hashem to be the new pope has spread to France, Canada, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, and beyond.

Four European believers are making a bold public statement at the Vatican. After spreading flyers throughout the city, they plan to raise a banner during the Pope’s Easter speech on April 20th, declaring “It’s time for a new pope.”
