No surprise. I would have been astounded if a new Pope had been picked on the first day of the Conclave.  2005 was very quick and it took 2 days. The first conclave in 1978 took 2 days and the second took three days. The more unexpected a Conclave is, the longer it often takes. My guess is a new Pope on Thursday or Friday.

Blogger PSA– the site popealarm.com promises to send a text message to you if you give them your number.
I fully expect to go from panicked to pissed to excited in the next week at some point, because I get another text from an unknown source. 🙂
I had forgotten that they’re so quick.
