NEW ADVENT BUZZ METER:
WHO MIGHT BE THE NEXT POPE?
Updated February 27, 2013

Here are the 115 cardinal electors, ranked according to a “buzz” score calculated by New Advent. This score is based on a cardinal’s relative influence and visibility, and adjusted daily based on Google search activity in various languages (see Google Trends). This list is not intended as a prediction of the outcome of the conclave or as a judgment on the worthiness of each man. The first number is the rank as calculated on February 27. The second number is the change in rank (if any) between February 21 and 27.

There are times in any family when all hands need to be on deck, when everyone is called to pitch in. The clean up after my grandma’s epic St. Patrick’s Day parties comes to mind.

Our Church family’s great uncles, the Cardinals who are gathering in Rome to elect the next Pope, seem to think that this is such a time. They have put out a request for all hands on deck, actually, more like all knees on deck.

They have called for prayers on Wednesday, March 6th at 5pm Rome time (that’s 11am Eastern, 10am Central, 9am Mountain and 8am Pacific). The Cardinals will gather at the altar of the Chair of St. Peter in St. Peter’s Basilica and will pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary followed by adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Vespers.

So, what should you pray? The answer? Something. Anything. As long as you keep in mind the intentions of the Cardinal-Electors and the upcoming Conclave.

Here is a prayer for the conclave. Let us make good use of it!

O God, eternal shepherd,
who govern your flock with
unfailing care,
grant in your boundless fatherly
love a pastor for your Church
who will please you by his holiness
and to us show watchful care.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The conclave to elect a new pope begins Tuesday at the Vatican. The voting process follows a set ritual every day until the Catholic Church has a new leader. Here is an approximate schedule. Local time listed first.

TUESDAY

— 10 a.m.-11:45 a.m. (5 a.m.-6:45 a.m. EDT; 0900-1045 GMT): Cardinals attend Mass in St Peter’s Basilica, then return to their Vatican hotel.

The post Schedule of voting during the papal conclave first appeared on AirMaria.com.

http://en.romereports.com The day of the Conclave is here. Cardinal electors will stay inside the Vatican until a new Pope is elected. Cardinals celebrated Mass to mark the pre-conclave period. This special Mass, known as the ‘Pro Eligendo Summo Pontifice’ took place in St. Peter’s Basilica, where thousands of pilgrims prayed for the future of the Church. The Mass was led by Cardinal Dean, Angelo Sodano. Applause followed when he thanked Benedict XVI.

The post The Conclave Begins first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Dec 31, 2022, where he gives a prayer for the soul of Pope Emeritus Benedict, who passed away early this morning, and then explains the impossibility of the suggestion of many bloggers and podcasters that Benedict was still the Pope due to some sort of deficiency in his resignation in 2013 and that Francis is an Antipope (someone who claims to be the pope when the real pope is still in power) both due to Benedict still being the pope and due to alleged irregularities in Francis’ election. He explains 1.) the gravity of such a suggestion, 2.) how we know that Benedict did, in fact, resign, and 3.) that Francis really did become Pope. He points out that none of the cardinals involved in the conclave ever came forth and said that they were pressured in any way or that any other thing occurred that could make the election invalid, i.e. Pope Francis is the Pope.
