Faster Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 It was so funny, Mansbridge was going on about something, said it was black and than it went unnaturally white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 My guess is that it is Scola and the name is Pope Pius XIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 It was so funny, Mansbridge was going on about something, said it was black and than it went unnaturally white. I thought so at first, too - but the Vatican's chemist did a brilliant job this time. Pure, heavy white smoke - just like the black smoke which was pitch perfect. The thing is that rarely the clear favourite (which Scola apparently became in the last two days) becomes Pope. But I think it will be definitely one of the few who were constantly named as "papabile". My rough guess is Cardinal Scherer from Brazil. Maybe because it would be (sort of) a German pope again. Are bells ringing at your place, too? Here in Guetersloh, Germany (the new city where I now work and live) which has a rather Protestant tradition but now has a fairly even split between Protestants and Catholics, the bells are quite distinct. Or I should say: They were distinct. They have stopped ringing meanwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 The crowd is singing the Italian anthem. I guess they really want an Italian Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had read at first somewhere that he is modestly conservative and got many votes by liberal Cardinals in the last conclave in 2005, where he apparently was Ratzinger's strongest contender. At least he seems to have a strong profile as "Cardinal of the poor". But that doesn't help completely if he forbids those poor people to use condoms, for example.
