At least we've still got the bear doing his business in the woods!

They say that they burn their voting papers, what the heck are they made of to cause all that pollution? :0)

[Baldric]

We haven't had a Pope for a little while now,
The World has not ground to a shuddering halt,
So keep calm and carry on!

[Sipowicz]

Keep Psalm and carry on?

No news is good news.

I dont care to be honest.

//No news is good news. //

No pope would be better news.

[Noth43]

In the brief moment of clarity no one in the world is claiming to be infallible.

[douglas9401]

Kinda what I was going for there Ms 24. :P

[maggiebee]

Have a couple of friends on F'book who are "staunch" Catholics whatever that may mean. Great debate going on about who the next pope will be.

Shame that the fire in there, that there Sistine Chapel, doesn't burn the whole place down with the Cardinals inside.

I sent in my proxy vote for pokomoko he had all the attributes.
I don't know what they are waiting for .

Well I don't think the more than 1 billion Catholics in the world would agree with you Naomi, but I'm sure you're right.

[modeller]

Being as God is telling them what to do it could be done with a quick puff of smoke in an instant, rather than polluting the environment with that black rubbish.

If you are really interested there is a Live Chimneycam absolutely riveting and could while away a few hours or days

Thought so Douglas. ;o)

[FredPuli43]

Exactly, modeller. If they are being directed by God in their prayers and thoughts, He could direct them in about an hour; some 115 cardinals given directions in about 40 seconds each. Was going to suggest they all went up Mount Sinai,like Moses, to get directions, but it turns out that he was about there for forty days and forty nights and, even then, only came back with ten commandments on a tablet. By that reckoning, one commandment "Appoint this man..." should take four days (and nights)

No! no! I am finding it quite exciting....I rather like ceremonial and ritual procedures.

No I am not a Catholic.
