Members of the Coptic community in Austria have decided to vote for Bishop Raphael and Bishop Tawadrous as well as Father Raphael of St. Mina monastery in the upcoming papal election on Oct. 29.
It's worth mentioning that the Egyptian consulate in Vienna has received a number of Coptic Christians to issue the required authentications to participate in the papal elections.
Abba Gebrael, bishop of Coptic Orthodox Church in Vienna, called all Christians to fast and pray for three days starting from today that God may intervene and select the best leader for His church and His people.
