when do we find out who it is?

 

He will accept the nomination, say some words to the rest of the Cardinals, then he will go off on his own to pray and decide on his new name as Pope. Then they gather to introduce him as a group.

 

Off topic a little apparently when Pope John Paul the first was asked if he accepted their nomination as Pope, he reportly told the rest of the Cardinals, "May God forgive you all for what you have done." :P

I'm getting chills ... but I don't really understand why I am.

 

On this sort of occasion, we put our differences aside and simply partake in the moment.

 

It is one of those moments you always remember.

 

Sept 11., JFK, John Lennon, sort of thing.

I wouldn't say I have any "differences". I just don't have the emotional ties that Catholics have to this scenario. I suspect my reaction is due to the fact that JPII was such an exceptional pope, imho, that I am hoping this one can be half as good. It's like I'm hopefully anticipating that the new Pope can be a healer and a uniter in this world.

I can't really describe what I feel right now.  I'm not Catholic, but this is a MOMENT in history.

 

I am Catholic (and actually started going to mass again) and I can't explain what I feel either!

There is no video from inside.  There will not be any hint of who it is until he walks out onto the balcony.

 

I know and that is what I am talking about (trying to type fast and dial mom at the same time lol).
