Today, February 28th, is the Pope's last day in office. Henceforth, Benedict XVI will be known as Pope Emeritus. Nothing I can write today could bump him off the front page. Now 115 Cardinals will gather to elect his successor. Some think he will come from the Southern Hemisphere. Others say that after the last two being Polish and German that the Italians will be back "in". We haven't heard from the oddsmakers in Las Vegas yet. I am curious how many ballots it will take. They want it accomplished by Palm Sunday March 24th so we will have a new Pontiff for Easter Sunday. The black smoke is a false alarm - watch for the white smoke - that makes it official. Ora pro nobis.
