My protestant wife, inlaws and friends are all immensely jealous these days... this is a very cool process indeed, very fun to watch and follow.

Now we just need an announcement - when does that happen?

My money's still on one of the Italians.  An insider clued me into that last week.  But we shall see... I do lose bets all the time...

Is betting on who becomes the next Pope a venial or mortal sin?

It's a Cardinal sin.

P.S. Talk about your potential scandals! Point-shaving in the Conclave!

"Cardinal sin" - love it!

JK - darn it but we don't have any TV's here, not any that get decent reception anyway... but I am off to seek one out.  Thanks.

Another cool aspect of this is what name he chooses... many think he'll be John Paul III... but that could go many ways.  No bets placed on that one.

Come on Scola!

Rumor on the streets is that Huckaby turned them down because he has better access as a civilian.   ;D

Damn right.  Lots of places the Pope of Golf would be scorned.  One must keep one's options open.

JC - excellent Latin.  Rosa alba est, my friend.

 ;D ;D

I can't find a TV!

Oh wow, in terms of a statement I would cry hallelujah right out loud here in the office if Arinde gets it.

I just don't see my church being that progressive... as much as I would love it... and my mother could then die happy....

Thus my money went with my head, not my heart.

Just be careful if Pope Law sends a priest to the mountains.

Huck,

We can dream, though, right.  

I'm not even Catholic but it would be an inspiring and inspired selection.

By the way, John Cullum, this site has better coverage than CNN.   ;D

JC:  I know, isn't this great?  This is either a new height or a new absolute low for this site, depending on one's preferences.

And JK, that's right, thanks for the procedural clarification.  This could take awhile for sure.

And you are correct, it doesn't have to be a cardinal.  But man would that be an upset if that occurs... even bigger than when JPII was elected...

My mother had some choice words about certain of the cardinals as well.  I believe her faith of choice was Hindu.  We have always had a strange thing for Eastern religions.

Absolutely.  And that is where my heart is.  But my money, well....

I'm voting to give it back to the Italians. It just seems sort of an order for the universe.

Actually, the white smoke was displayed as the Vatican has announced a trade.  Paul Tagliabue is walking to the mike ...

Guess they opted to do the conservative, transitional Pope thing by electing a 78 year old.

Lord knows the world could use a good leader.  Godspeed.

Gotta love the name.  I was just telling my kids last night I was hoping for an "old-school" name like Benedict or Innocent or Pius...

 ;)

I didn't win any money.  Heck, one couldn't get good odds on Ratzinger anyway.

And yeah, I'm not exactly excited about the choice either.  But we shall see what transpires.

That's right!

That's why he couldn't be JPIII.  He had to search and search for a name that had been used 15 times already.  Gotta love our rules.
