Whomever is chosen I pray that he will be a person to match our times. I believe religious leaders are needed no matter what religion. We need Faith more than ever I hope the day will come when the Catholic Church will recognize women as Priests and allow marriage in the Priesthood. |

It seems there is precedent for a priest who is a theologian to become a cardinal without becoming a cardinal first. (I learn something new every day). http://www.ewtn.com/holysee/Cardinals/index.asp "Pope John Paul II has honored priests who are theologians, such as Henri De Lubac, S.J. and Avery Dulles, S.J. without requiring them to be ordained bishops, as is required by law." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_de_Lubac "... In 1969 Pope Paul VI, an admirer of de Lubac's works, had proposed making him a Cardinal, but de Lubac demurred, believing that for him to become a bishop, as required of all cardinals by Pope John XXIII in 1962, would be "an abuse of an apostolic office". Paul VI instead elevated de Lubac's junior colleague Jean Daniélou in that consistory, having committed to grant the cardinalate to a Jesuit theologian. In 1983 Pope John Paul II offered de Lubac the cardinalate, this time with a dispensation from being consecrated a bishop. De Lubac accepted, and became the first cardinal after 1962 who was not a bishop. In the consistory of February 2, 1983, Pope John Paul II raised de Lubac, at 87, to the College of Cardinals. He was created Cardinal Deacon of Santa Maria in Domnica. Since May 24, 1990, de Lubac was the oldest living Cardinal. He died in Paris in 1991..." Edited by foxglove, Feb 27 2013, 09:12 PM.

Five ways the Vatican will ensure no voting leaks The Vatican appears to be taking cues from MI5 and other spy agencies to keep the voting of the papal conclave ultra-secret. The goal is to prevent a repeat of the 2005 conclave, when a German cardinal leaked the identity of the winner – Joseph Ratzinger, who would become Pope Benedict XVI minutes later – to a German TV network before his name was officially announced. Here are five ways the Vatican will ensure a leak-proof conclave. 1. Low-tech paint Windows atop the Sistine Chapel and the soaring hall next to the Pauline Chapel, where the 115 cardinals say mass before entering the Sistine Chapel to vote each morning, have been covered with white paint to thwart the best efforts of photographers with long lenses. 2. High-tech scrambling Electronic scrambling devices have been installed to ensure that anyone involved in the voting process – cardinals, assistants, Swiss Guards, elevator operators – cannot use any electronic gadgets to communicate with the outside world. 3. Debugging The Sistine Chapel and the Vatican residence where the cardinals stay and eat during the conclave, the Domus Sanctae Marthae, are to be swept for electronic bugs. 4. Sequestration The cardinals will in effect be treated like prisoners at Alcatraz: Until the new pope is elected, they will never leave their tiny Vatican universe – the Domus (whose room phones are limited to internal calls), the Pauline Chapel, the Apostolic Palace and the Sistine Chapel. 5. The Fury of God The Vatican has made it clear that anyone who blabs faces the ultimate punishment http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/five-ways-the-vatican-will-ensure-no-voting-leaks/article9652959/ |

It boggles my mind how the main stream media is playing up the election of a new Pope. As progressive as the MSM appears to be I would assume they would have ignore the event altogether. How disingenuous these people are. Anything for a buck, I guess. |

About 25% of the US is Catholic. Lots of readers for the press. |

I don't care if you have a belief or not, to see joy of the thousands in St. Peter's Square reacting with such joy is, well Joyful.
