Anyone hear the Italian socialists.
They're breaking the Kyoto! They're breaking the Kyoto!
To: el_doctor2
It's a defined schedule - "around" 6 AM and 1 PM Eastern time are the two signals for each day.

Black Smoke Rises out of Conclave: No Pope in second round of Voting.If those folks at the Vatican would just use a few Orioles or maybe a Raven or two instead of just Cardinals, this could have been over by now.
(no offense meant to anyone.)

That is a great question!
Salvation, do you know if there is a schedule for the votes?

I'm worried at the prospect of the election of Cardinal Sicola. We would then have Pope Secola!!

The schedule for the emissions of smoke was announced by the Vatican Head of PR, Mr. Navarro-Valls, a few days ago.

Democrats React to the Papal Election Process.
John Kerry: Cardinal Ratzinger owns a wood company!
Al Gore: I Order a Recount
Dr. Dean AND CAROLINA AND IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE VATICAN
Tom Daschle: I'm Deeply Saddend.
Nancy Pelosi: I think all cardinals should say Made in the USA.
Harry Reid: WERE GOING TO SHUT DOWN THE CONCLAVE.
Hillary Clinton WOMAN POPE! ; WE ARE THE PRESIDENT!

I never could figure out why the baseball team from St. Louis got to pick the next Pope. I mean, come on. If you're going to have a MLB team do it, at least use the Padres.
To: netmilsmom
was there a predefined schedule?The rules for the election were reiterated and tweaked by John Paul II in a 1996 Papal document.
Although the exact times of the voting are to be determined by the Cardinals, after one session on the first day (Monday), there must be voting sessions in the morning and in the afternoon of the following days. If no Pope is chosen by a 2/3 majority, a second vote is immediately done in both sessions (but the ballots are not burned until after the second vote in both sessions).
If there's no Pope elected after three days, the Cardinals take a day off to pray and discuss. They then continue for seven more votes. If still no majority, another day off. Repeat same formula; after seven more ballots, another day off.
After what I count up as thirty balloting sessions, the Cardinals can decide to vote only on the top two vote-getters, electing a Pope by an absolute majority.
This could go on for quite a while -- or it could be over today.
