What kind of chance do you think Hans Küng has of being elected?

 

Slightly better odds than Patriarch Kirill, but only slightly.

I got so excited seeing Cardinal O'Malley but I haven't seen Cardinal Burke or Cardinal Dolan yet although the announcers have said they are there...

Trying to keep an eye on it between calls today at work... have it streaming on mute.

 

Someone in the chat rooms we have for work said "The room they're choosing the new pope in is really pretty."

I was like :doh:

And then they said "They're all really mopey. Mope like a pope!"

:doh:

So I was like ... "It's the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo and they are about to make a huge decision - so they are praying."

And then they didn't know who Michelangelo was...

:twitch:

 

I supposed I should not be surprised...

In an hour and a half, they'll cast the first ballot! 

 

What do they actually do in the conclave, do they debate each other's merits? Must be kind of awkward talking frankly about each other lol.

I loved watching the closing of the doors.  That gave me the chills and I was so happy to see it.  I've only lived through one other Conclave (Benedict XVI) and I didn't give it much attention.  This time, I'm really keeping on top of what happens.  I can't wait to see the white smoke and the new Pope revealed!

btw, I'm so freakin' excited, and nervous, and just....a little bit crazy with anticipation already.

 

i'm thinking it's going to be Thursday on the second ballot of the day.

As a side note, the most "phatmass connected" cardinal would be Cardinal Burke. He is personal friends with our spiritual adviser, Fr Pontifex.
