Am I missing the thread on the Election of a New Pope, or is there not one as of yet?

Maybe I'm scrolling past it? Surely we have one?!

    Don't think so - there was a rip thread for Pope Francis.
  • Conclave starts on Wednesday, I believe.

    I thought about starting one, but then quickly realized that I had nothing to say about it. Even though Catholic, I have zero clue as to the respective merits of the various cardinals and could offer no meaningful comment.

    Thank you, all. As a lapsed Episcopalian, I don't really have a dog in this hunt either, but I've long been a part-time employee of my local RC Diocese, and maybe that's an interest enough to start one. The Pope is a global figure. Maybe that also gives latitude, at least to open the floor.

    The death of Pope Francis has driven home for me what a non-Catholic I have become in my ex-Catholic years. A day or so after his demise, I was walking by a Catholic school-board office, and initially wondered why their two flags(Canadian and Franco-Ontarian) were at half-mast.
