Actually, ebb has gone on record in answering the question regarding if the Holy Spirit guides the College of Cardinals in selecting the new pope. Metmom's post is first followed by ebbs which I've bolded to aid in distinction

Francis is not a Protestant.

He’s a Catholic, elected by the Catholic church college of cardinals to fill the highest position within the Catholic church.

Like it or not, he’s all yours.

You can try to disown him, but that isn’t going to fly unless there’s an official action of the Catholic chruch to ex-communicate him.

So, the question remains, does the Holy Spirit guide the college of cardinals in the selection and election of the new pope? Simple question that just needs a simply *Yes* or *No* answer.

No. And He never has.

Otherwise all elections would have occurred on this first vote with an unanimous decision.

So we finally have ebb on record as saying the selection of the pope is not guided by the Holy Spirit.

I wonder if his fellow (?) Roman Catholics agree with him?
