| Cardinals will begin their conclave to elect the new leader of the Catholic Church in Rome on Tuesday afternoon. A Vatican spokesman announced on Friday that cardinals will hold the private meeting in the Sistine Chapel after a morning mass in St. Peter´s Basilica. Apart from eating and sleeping, they will not be allowed to leave the meeting until they have chosen who will succeed Pope Benedict XVI, who announced his surprise abdication on February 10. On Friday morning, the cardinals accepted letters of explanation from two cardinal-electors who are eligible to vote for the next pope but will not

I think Protestants should be praying for the papal conclave, too. The pope´s influence extends far beyond the Roman Catholic Church. Think of Pius XII, John XXIII, and John Paul II.

I don´t know how anyone could act as though the election of the next pope is a non-news story. The pope leads more than a billion people. Of course, they´re not trying to kill or convert all the non-Catholics in the world, so I suppose that makes them a little dull in comparison to some other groups. Even so, I´ll be watching with interest.

Praying that the cardinals are guided by the Holy Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Has anyone else heard the rumor that an unnamed American Cardinal has hired David Axelrod? Anyone?
#11: Well put. I agree. There´s no surfeit of moral leadership in the world today. Probably never was.
#2: Don´t think so. Stinky loves the perks no Pope could ever aspire to [St. Peter´s or AF1? For Blingmeister Bronco, it´s no contest.], and he loves having Predators with Hellfires at his fingertips.
#5: Long ago, the Greeks noted that, while we might not take an interest in politics, politics takes an interest in us. It could surely be argued that this is even more so when it comes to religion.

Colorado authorities are questioning two associates of the man suspected in the killing of the state prisons director, a law enforcement source close to the investigation said Thursday. The two men, whom the source declined to identify, are in addition to James Lohr, 47, and Thomas Guolee, 31, two men the El Paso County Sheriff´s Office asked police to be on the lookout for on Wednesday. One or both could be headed toward Nevada, the office said. Police want to question Lohr and Guolee -- whom police described as associates of the white supremacist 211 Crew gang

Williamson, W.Va.- The man suspected of killing a West Virginia sheriff as he ate lunch in his car was mentally disturbed and had no particular vendetta with law enforcement, his father told The Associated Press on Thursday. Melvin Maynard said his 37-year-old son, Tennis Melvin Maynard, was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. He most likely did not target Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, he said. "He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I´m saying?" the elder Maynard said. "I know he was off."

Charleston, W.Va. -- The man suspected of fatally shooting Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum on Wednesday is expected to survive. Tennis Melvin Maynard, 37, of Delbarton, is sedated and on a ventilator but is expected to recover from gunshot wounds, according to State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous. (Snip) Crum, elected in November and on the job since January, had been involved in a massive crackdown on the drug trade in Mingo County that had been dubbed Operation Zero Tolerance. It remains unclear whether his death was related to the drug investigations. Crum knew Maynard, authorities said. Baylous said he

Two men and two women have been arrested in the case in the southern city of Maastricht. Prosecution spokeswoman Cindy Reijnders said Monday the tip came last week, but there´s no indication that any sarin was about to be used in a terror attack.

The Dow Jones and Standard & Poor’s 500 indexes reached record highs on Thursday, having completely erased the losses since the stock market’s last peak, in 2007. But instead of cheering, we should be very afraid. Over the last 13 years, the stock market has twice crashed and touched off a recession: American households lost $5 trillion in the 2000 dot-com bust and more than $7 trillion in the 2007 housing crash. Sooner or later — within a few years, I predict — this latest Wall Street bubble, inflated by an egregious flood of phony money from the Federal

Bamako-Malian soldiers backed by French fighter jets battled Islamist rebels in Timbuktu on Sunday after insurgents used a car bomb as cover to infiltrate the northern desert town overnight, sources said. (Snip) The attack reflected the challenge of securing Mali as France prepares to reduce its troop presence and hand over to the ill-equipped Malian army and a more-than 7,000-strong regional African force. Mali´s defense ministry said on Saturday that two Nigerian soldiers in the regional African force were killed when their convoy struck a mine outside Ansongo, near the Niger border.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."
