Latest rumours in the German press: There is increasing fear of the conclave splitting into several factions, each one with a strong but insufficient voting block. One new name: Francisco Robles Ortega (Mexico). If this is more than just somebody's unqualified guess, it could signify the attempt to unite the Anglo-American and Latin-American blocks behind one candidate in order to prevent Scola.

My hopes:
1. Ouellet
2. Schönborn
3. Tagle
4. Canizares
5. Ranjith

My predictions:
1. Ouellet
2. Bagnasco
3. Piacenza
4. Erdö
5. Scola
(as usual, it will be the other way round; but predictions are here to fail)

This morning the smoke came out 20 minutes before schedule once again, so around 5:40 PM GMT we could have some smoke.

Earlier than that... I doubt, but who knows? Tongue

Since there was no smoke by now, it's safe to say there was no decision on the 4th ballot.

The 5th ballot really seemed to take an eternity, here's why. As a Catholic, such an exciting moment for me, no matter who wins.

Alright, so I was wrong. What do I know, after all.

This probably means we get a horrible pope, too.

It would somehow be funny if it's Schönborn.

But I guess it's the Italian.

A recount? Or just dragging out the vote a little to convince the last few voters needed to make two-thirds?

It sounds like people are chanting 'We want the Pope' or 'Bring out the Pope'. Unless it's Italian that I don't understand.

So was I. Anyway, seems we still have some 20 minutes for the final bets. I take Erdö.

I think it took close to an hour last time for the announcement.

Hearing reports that Karl Rove is still holding out and suggesting the conclave take back their call until the provisional ballots can be counted.

Yeah, I was looking for a time estimate just now and somewhere said "this evening" (it's half past seven here).

Too late - the ballots have already been burnt.

Gotta be Scola if it was this fast, I think.

The balcony door is still closed I believe. The new Pope must be figuring out his new clothes.

Or maybe he hasn't put any thought into the Papal name. Tongue
