New Coptic Pope After Shenouda III
In a historic and symbolic turn, the election of the 119th Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church took an unexpected path. Following Shenouda III’s death, a child, in an act of faith and tradition, selected the new spiritual leader. This event marks not only a change in the ecclesiastical structure but also reflects the social and political dynamics of Egypt, a country in full transformation after Mubarak’s overthrow.
