So far no new Pope!

[Phil C]

They are going to try to elect one today. But it is all secretive. Can you imagine the millions of dollars in tv revenue they could make if it was covered on live tv?

I was actually home for lunch watching the smokestack (chimney) yesterday when the black smoke came out indicating no decision. I had to think to myself....it was a bit strange watching a chimney, but did go on to learn some of the history behind it. ;)

VATICAN CITY - Bells ringing from the Vatican confirmed Tuesday that cardinals had reached a decision for a successor to Pope John Paul II. A name had yet to be announced but was expected shortly.

Crowds in St. Peter's Square chanted: “Viva il Papa!” or “Long live the pope!”

The new pope was to appear later on the main balcony of the basilica to deliver his first public address.

The conclave lasted for two days, and no conclave in the past century had lasted more than five days. The election that made John Paul II pope in October 1978 took eight ballots over three days.

“It’s very powerful to be in the place where St. Peter was martyred and to pray to the Lord for a worthy successor,” said Brother Mateo Lethimonier, 30, a monk from Argentina in a light blue robe and sandals who was among those on the square before the decision was announced.

He said he was praying for the cardinals to find “the one who loves Jesus most, the one who represents the church best.”
