Prayer for the Election of a Pope - Lord God, you are our eternal shepherd and guide. In your mercy grant your Church a shepherd who will walk in your ways and whose watchful care will bring us your blessing. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Collect, Mass for the Election of a Pope, Roman Missal)

The bells at St. Peter's aren't ringing, though...

Yeah, my heart is beating pretty good too.

FoxNews: "The bells are continuing not to ring."

And they said they were going to have the bells ring also if it was a selection. I'm wondering if this is a goof.

Bye, see you all later.

Oh my-ring! Ring bells so we will know! Suppose they forgot about the bells?

I'm wondering who was passing the word to the bellringers now.

Suddenly I'm thinking it is not a sleection.

I know. Just hate to see this not be it and the crowds and all be so disappointed.

This is so exciting!

Well they announced JP II's death prematurely, so nothing would surprise me.

I'm thinking not, but I am away from the TV right now. What are EWTN and FoxNews saying?

I wonder. They may be on a timer for the hour? Maybe waiting for the hour toll and now will ring the main bell of the church?

If this is a selection, does anyone know approx. how long it will be before we see him?
