It's not an election

The Pope is not selected by men unless the Cardinals choose to ignore the Holy Spirit. As such all the time spent speculating which candidate is likely to win would be far better spent on praying for God's will to be done.

Even if you're not Catholic it would be wise, given the influence the Pope has on the world, to pray that God's candidate is chosen and that we get the best possible Pope in spite of our sins and failings.

One interesting way to motivate yourself to pray is to go to www.adoptacardinal.org and be assigned a random cardinal to pray for.
