Thousands of people are waiting in Saint Peter’s Square right now to look for the smoke. If the vote does not have 2/3 for one Cardinal, no Pope is selected. The ballots are then thrown in a fireplace and some black dye added for effect, and the black smoke wafts out to show that no Pope has been chosen.
Then they do the same thing. Over and over again, until they reach the 2/3 threshold. When that happens, the ballots are put aflame again but this time white dye gets thrown in the mix and white smoke comes out. A new Pope is here!
This could go for one vote. A new Pope selected on the first ballot. That’s doubtful.
There are a bunch of names being thrown around. I think and hope the new Pope might, could be, Cardinal Tagle from the Philippines. I hope he wins. Here’s why:
We have a loyal newsletter reader named ______ and she knows Cardinal Tagle. They’re friends – like, BFF’s! So, She is very leery of having him chosen, which is understandable. It’s a big J.O.B. !!
Still, I’d love to report that we have a Newsletter reader who is friends with the Pope. Maybe I can call ________ and see if she could help me grab a “Cup of Joe” with him one day and tell him all about y’all. Wow. That could maybe happen. _______ has been a very loyal follower of SaintsforSinners for forever, it seems.
So, I hope ______ is disappointed and her friend Cardinal Tagle is chosen. ( Sorry, ______ ) Meeting the new Pope! That would be cool. I’ll bring him an Imported Italian Saint Medallion, Hand-Painted in New Orleans. A Divine Gift! You know what they say; “Wonders Never Cease!”
Get a BIG Pope Francis Pectoral Cross, Unpainted! Just order something soon and I’ll add it to your order. We’re still offering that SHIPPING DISCOUNT, calmed down a bit. You may get charged a bit for shipping but you will get SHIPPING BY PRIORITY MAIL. So, do not ask and pay for that because you’re already getting it!
Thanks for reading to the bottom line
