Papal Conclave: The Vatican's Ancient Ritual Begins

[@mike9139]

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed are thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

[@sirajjoseph6364]

God works in mysterious ways

[@blaisevincent2620]

Thank God...Amen..

[@colinmccarthy7921]

There is a Honorary Cardinal in the Sacred College of Cardinals.He will not be Elected Pope at this Conclave,but he will be Elected Pope at the next Conclave.He is very well liked among the Cardinals, which makes him Honorary.In my eyes there has only been one other Honorary Cardinal who became Pope in the last 100 years,and that was Cardinal Eugenio PACELLI,Secretary of State,Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church.These two positions are the Top Two Positions in the Church.He was destined to be Pope.I the Conclave of 1939,the Cardinals elected him Pope in no time.If I am correct he was Elected on his Birthday,3rd March.This happened through Our Lord Jesus.I am not going to say who will be the next Pope after this New Pope.He will give the Papacy a New meaning in Life.Pope John XX111 called the 2nd Vatican Council in 1962,which changed the Catholic Church.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

But then, out of their expectations, and by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a first Jesuit Pope and First Latin American Pope has been selected to pastor the 1.3B faithful catholics around the world. Soli Deo gloria!

[@merseywhogirl]

"Jesus with an MBA" DID i actually hear that?

[@jackzampella5758]

An unwritten law for the cardinals is -- no pope will be elected from a powerful country. I didn't make this up. Read the life of John Paul 2 you'll see for yourself.

[@pinksheep406]

Its a miracle he even became pope, the Nazis and Communists absolutely wrecked his country.

[@Christabbaword]

John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ c

Fisher of men*

[@johannesnicolaas]

A young pope in his 60's... hahaha....no.

[@sugarlanskee8]

Relayed your suggestion to one of the Lil Boosie KZbin vids.

[@sugarlanskee8]

Ok, we have one vote for Lil Boosie. How about a vote for Josh, who said: "We don't know whom the Pope will be..." We have to vote for a gentleman who says "whom" when "who" is correct.

[@AngryitNerd]

AND 1 VOTE FOR PEDRO

[@bernardsingh981]

[@denford469]

Papacy prediction indicates that cardinals who were pest's by press/media their country might face cursed .

[@aserrano1234321]

i will never understand why this is important...

[@lucillebonds4332]

aserrano1234321 in what way?

[@rebeccaanderson5626]

It is not important to you because you are not a catholic

[@dianeshelley6439]

This is not a holy place.

[@dianeshelley6439]

@Collins Anosike and filled with all those holy rapist?, Can't be holy when it's filled all those demons endangering those children. Believe as you wish as God reveals all these demons. What has light to do with darkness? All this darkness God is not a partaker of it.

[@dianeshelley6439]

@Collins Anosike demons are in the Vatican, brutilizing children.

[@dianeshelley6439]

@Collins Anosike are you trying to convince me or you. The pope said stop trying to convert people. That means stop trying to convert me.

[@USA50_]

We should support term limits for Pope's or a suggested retirement age

[@annamendoza6955]

Its all about ritual and tradition.i didn't even heared them praying heatedly to God almighty through the name of his son Jesus Christ.they didn't even give honor to the most high but only for themselve i can't feel the holy spirit working in this situation.they disregard the bible principles and standard its all about human standard and tradition.its far away from the true christians before and even today!

[@seanwhitaker484]

anna mendoza wrong lol

[@waynepascual8886]

fyi all they do there is pray ofcourse whilr voting

[@classicnosh]

Anna, you may not agree with the Catholic Church but prayer is constantly done and they do rely on biblical principals. You simply have an alternate interpretation of the facts and that's okay. You don't have to be a Catholic nor do you have to agree with them. It's important that Sede Vacante does not last very long and it's the hope of every Catholic that our Pontifex is intelligent, faithful to Christ and leads the church with wisdom. The only thing secret about this ritual is the names and the voting counts. The ritual itself is not secret and is free for all to see in a Latin Publication called Ordo Rituum Conclavis which contains the words and hymns for what we regard as a very holy process.

[@BigChant88]

Nice human skin red shoes

[@Garbanzo884]

Dolan would be an awful pope.

[@odavies94]

'Ancient' Ritual? I'd say 'outdated', 'archaic' or something along those lines, it's certainly more apt. Perhaps if they opened up the Papal selection process to include a more than just the 'Sexually-frustrated old man' demographic then the church could join us in the 21st Century.

[@thepianoman6958]

odavies94 The Church never changes but does adapt to this horrific modern world. And how could you say this is outdated? Wouldn’t you be able to say the same for the presidential election process? And women will never be able to be bishops, priests, cardinals, etc...

[@lucillebonds4332]

Jesu is the same yesterday today and forever.

[@Shifflettdg]

“Outdated” and “archaic” is how we true Catholics like our religion if that’s what you call ancient and sacred tradition
