Papal Smoke Stack

#DidYouKnow Black and White Smoke were first used 1914 for the election of Pope Benedict XV?

Please pray for Father Erik Freed who was found dead in his Eureka, CA rectory on New Year's morning. Foul play is being investigated.

Did any of your churches light up the incense to honor Mary, the Mother of God? You must go to know! We smokestacks love the holy smokes!

Hello everyone! Seems like the Holy Spirit picked a winner in Pope Francis. I'm happy to stay in storage for a while! #alwaysprayforthepope

Announce a new pope and what do I get in return? A storage closet! #itsdarkinhere

"Come, Holy Spirit" Some initial thoughts on the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Francis. fatherchristopher.blogspot.c…

Now that we have a new Pope you should stay tuned for a big announcement after I finish the 18th hole

Now that my work is done ...

Please excuse my excitement, I meant "white" not "whitw"

Havemus Papam!

Whitw smoke!!

Getting close, probably inside twenty minutes to the big reveal.

To the bird: "You can stand there, but you may be in for a big surprise shortly, just sayin'"

Meanwhile, in the Sistine Chapel ...

Now it gets serious. Three votes have given Cardinals a better sense of the room. They now have the afternoon to discuss.

Three total ballots down (1 Tues and 2 Wed) and no pope.
