There are only 118 voters.
Every voter is also theoretically a candidate.

They look more like candidates for “Upper Class Twit of the Year”.

I like Cardinal Angelo Scola, but Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco would also be acceptable.

That was funny, right up to the end.
That last one ... there's something so evil in Bam-Bam's dead face expression that just makes my blood run cold.

I highly doubt they’d pick someone that young again, they don’t want them reigning for decades anymore.

The most naive posting of the day. Do you seriously believe what you just said? It's not naive and I hope he does seriously believe it. While I admit that every human interaction has it's mundane and even political aspect the election of a Pope is a very seriously different occaision. The electors meeting in the Conclave are very human and very fallible but none the less they are the instruments through which the Holy Spirit will make known His choice for our next Supreme Pontiff.
All the politicking, and speculating and bargaining in the world will not make one tiny bit of difference.

This is not the world of politics I bet we'd be suprised how much politics there is.

Turkson is running. Which is why he’ll lose.
Keep an eye on Malcom Cardinal Ranjith of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
You saw it here first.
To: jobim
Don’t think for a minute that there are no politics involved.
If I were a betting man I would bet the new Pope will be black. Politics, certainly , and political correctness to boot.

That's probably true although I think one of the Cardinals in their sixties will be the next Pope, not someone seventy or over.
It's just a hunch, but I suspect it'll be someone younger than people are expecting.
I do like Tagle from what I've heard from him, though. I ran across a few things he's had to say while they've been fighting changes to laws in the Philippines and it seems like he's not worried about stepping on toes.
