Inside the Conclave

What Really Happened at the Conclave by Sandro Magister at www.chiesa is an interesting look at the environmental factors that most likely affected the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel.

Farther down are the Holy Father's comments to pilgrims from Germany on his election.

This quote stands out from Benedict XVI's comments:

The ways of the Lord are not comfortable, but we are not created for comfort, but for great things, for the sake of the good.
