Cardinal Tagle at 67 is currently a bookie's favourite.

Yes, of course it's all about me.

“Habemus Papam!”
(“We have a Pope!”)

#Vatican #conclave #papalelection #holiness #Jubilee2025
Image of white smoke billowing from the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel, signaling the election of a new pope. A tweet from Vatican News is visible above the image, reading: “White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.” Over the smoke, red handwritten-style text reads: “Habemus Papam!” (“We have a Pope!”).

Any sightings of white smoke yet, or are we just vaping in suspense? I need to know before I commit to a weekday drink and risk divine judgment. #conclave #pope #papalelection

They will remain sealed until after the first vote, likely occurring around 7:00 p.m. Rome time (1:00 p.m. EDT).

Let us pray for them. 🙏

Two clergy members in magenta vestments flank him, also smiling. Deep red curtains frame the balcony.

A traditional-style oil painting of Pope Francis in white papal vestments, A small lamb is draped around his neck on his shoulders, which he is holding by its ankles. He looks directly at the viewer with a gentle, compassionate expression. The background is white, drawing focus to Francis and the lamb. To the right, text reads: “On ‘conclave eve’, let us pray for our cardinal electors to discern the shepherd whose calling is to walk with all of God’s children while helping us find a path forward in unity.”

John Paul II was elected from the communist bloc not to bring it kudos but to keep the spotlight on poor behaviours. The college of cardinals now evidently are the United States as the threat to global peace and order and Leo XIV has been elected with that in mind #leoxiv #papalelection

AT THE TOP, on a broad red stripe running across the width of the graphic is white small-cap lettering spelling out the name, “Pope Leo XIV.” ON THE LEFT, Pope Leo XIV stands smiling with arms raised in greeting the global community just after being announced as the next pope. He wears a white cassock and a red mozzetta with a red and gold embroidered chasuble, standing before deep red curtains. ON THE RIGHT, is a press-style announcement with the Catholic Democrats logo and email for Steven A. Krueger. The headline reads: “Catholic Democrats Prayerful Reflection on the Election of Pope Leo XIV.” The subheading says: “In Thanksgiving, Consolation and Hope.” The body text begins with “Boston, May 9, 2025” and introduces a statement of gratitude, hope, and unity following the election of Pope Leo XIV.

The Cardinals have processed into the Sistine Chapel. It's fascinating to watch their body language - many of them are staring up at their surroundings, taking it all in. The sense of anticipation is enormous and suddenly they all seem very human. x
