Is it a sin to have believed that the Cardinals would have conceded to worldly pressures and elected a Pope that would satisfy the malcontents?
If so, I must head for confession post haste.
I did not think the liberals would win. However, I did not think they would fold this quickly. I should have remembered the power of the Holy Spirit makes all things possible.

Ye of little faith.
Well, they knew that the pro-liberal malcontents were not the Church anymore, they rarely attend, attack it every chance, and they are essentially CINO (Catholic In Name Only--I know I'm wearing out the xINOs, but this definitely applies), so they made the decision based on the holy spirit, although I'm sure that they had in mind someone that truly represents the flock, the loyal Catholics...
