May 7May 7 Figured this warranted it's own thread. The procession into the Sistine Chapel starts at 9:30 AM CDT, with the smoke watch starting after lunch.
May 7May 7 Holding out for Pope Pizzaballa I. Would be hilarious to have a Pope Pizzaballa IV in the year 2154. Do us a solid, Catholics.
May 7May 7 Make sure to tell all of your boomer parents and relatives that the "Conclave" movie on Amazon Prime is an inside look at the selection process and is the closest they will get to seeing the real deal.
May 7May 7 Could a guy send the Conclave a few 30 racks of High Life, and a couple of cases of Slim Jims to help them enhance the atmosphere?

May 7May 7 I might be persuaded to abandon my Presbyterian faith, but I’m going to have to see some solid evidence of 1) a return to the sale of indulgences - and 2) a lowering of the indulgence price for dispensation of certain sins. If they don’t do that, I’m going to ask our president to put a tariff on KOC Friday seafood dinners.

May 7May 7 Another great movie about Dead Pope-ing is The Shoes of the Fisherman. Anthony Quinn was great.

Except it is Real-Life Conclave Rivals Drama of Movie Version Infighting, smear campaigns, papal letters from beyond the grave: The conclave is giving the film a run for its money. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/papal-conclave-movie-cardinals-parolin-tagle-93fff546?st=ihcnMN&reflink=article_copyURL_share For those not following, one of the front runners produced two letters from Francis stating that the cardinal sentenced to 5 yrs in prison for embezzlement (and who decided he still had the right vote for the next pope) shouldn’t be allowed in the proceedings. there’s also this which certainly belongs in the “deleted scenes” category: The Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported that one cardinal staying in the Vatican’s guesthouse, the Domus Sanctae Marthae, didn’t realize that the tiny liquor bottles in his room’s minibar weren’t free. After finishing all of the bottles with a group of colleagues, he found them on his bill. “He was a bit upset,” the daily reported.

I hope that’s not accurate and they still do it the traditional way. “If they don’t meet a two-thirds majority, the ballots are burned with straw and chemical additives, creating a black smoke that rises from a chimney erected in a corner of the chapel signaling a pope has not been chosen.” “Once the two-thirds majority is met, a new pope has been elected. The ballots are burned with dry straw and chemical additives to make white smoke rise from the chapel’s chimney.” https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/conclave-pope-cardinals-explained-e1f76150?st=VzaCg6&reflink=article_copyURL_share
May 7May 7 That’s what I thought to be correct, and was surprised they went with the canisters and never showed them burning the ballots that I recall.
May 7May 7 I wonder how much you'd have to pay the Vatican to pull off the wildest gender reveal of all time...

Pizzaballa was +1250 earlier in the week, but they removed the futures at my book this morning. Odds are back up this afternoon and our boy is +650. Steam play, imo....
