Thanks very much. This isn’t anything similar to a horse race and it’s painful when it’s made to look like it.
Precisely Robert Moynighan's point. What sets this interregnum apart from previous ones is the absence of a period of mourning. This has given the media the impression they can use free reign to pursue the cardinals. Perhaps the fact that no papabili have risen to the surface is an indication the cardinals are not cooperating with the media wolves.
