Good morning, mara. We just seen the cardinals still walking down the long aisle of st. Peters basilica. They will attend this mass for the election of the new pope. They will be praying for the next upontive whoever that will be. This morning, early this morning, we saw and filmed the american cardinals leaving the north American College where they were staying just around the corner from st. Peters square. They seemed to be in good mood and spirit. Despite the enormity of the task they have. They will be participating in the election for the spiritual leader of the 1. 2 billion catholics worldwide.

Now the question is will that be the last time we see him dressed in red . He is one of the candidate popes. Lets so he if hes the First American pope in history. I know at one point very soon the cardinals will be sequestered. They will not have contact with the outside world until they select a new pope. When will that start . Do we have thoughts on how long this process will take them . The plan for the day, mara, after the mass, they will go for lunch. After that, they go into the palace, from there, they will start the procession towards the Sistine Chapel invoking the holy spirit. Once they are in the Sistine Chapel later this afternoon, thats when they will stop having any contact with the outside world. They will not read any newspapers, television, they will not be allowed to be approached by vatican personnel. Nobody can speak to them because they need to concentrate on choosing the new spiritual leader. How long will it take . We dont know yet. The last time in 2005, it was two days, four ballots.
