An election the press can't influence
Media pundits are all angry, and several are fit to be tied, because they want the election process for the Papacy to be more open. They believe that the election of the Successor of Peter should be "open" so that they can influence it in the same way that they influence our national election. To their credit, the College of Cardinals (and the Church as a whole) will have none of it. It is not right that the secular media should think that they have any right to influence an election for the Vicariate of Christ. Media types are fuming that they can know nothing...can't they just respect the fact that there is one election that is Sacred, and they have no right to influence it?____
Three ballots so far (one last night, two today), all black smoke. No Pope yet.
