Black smoke again this morning.

Over under on how many votes it take to elect a new Pope. I'll say 7.

edit: currently 3 ballots completed.

I love watching this, it's just so intriguing to watch. Catholic or not, the election of one man to rule 1.2 billion people is an event behold, especially considering the history (and problems) of the church.

Pope's not really a ruler, not even among the cardinals.

Pope Francis is a jesuit. He's taken his name after St Francis Xavier. Nice BE connection then :D

Yeah, Xavier is Jesuit. We are a little bit excited. And the fact he took Francis is pretty freaking awesome.

Well, that decides it then.

Sorry Dayton, Creighton has to be the 10th team now. After all, CU is a Jesuit school....
