  Papal conclave, 2005 - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
According to tradition and declaration of Camerlengo Eduardo Cardinal Martínez Somalo, Benedict XVI is the 265th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches (another accounting of papal history that includes the uncrowned and uninstalled Pope Stephen II reckons him the 266th pope).
Although there were 183 cardinals in all, cardinals over the age of 80 at the time the papacy fell vacant were ineligible to vote in the conclave according to rules enacted by Pope Paul VI in 1971 and modified slightly in 1996 by John Paul II.
Two cardinals were striking by their different attire in the sea of red and white: cardinals Daoud of the Syrian Catholic Church and Husar of the Ukrainian Catholic Church.

The Papal conclave of 2005 was convened due to the death of Pope John Paul II on April 2, 2005.
The result of this (with Cardinal Sin unable to attend) was that Cardinals Baum and Ratzinger were the only cardinals in the conclave with practical experience in the papal election process, having participated in the conclaves electing John Paul I and John Paul II.

 Papal Transition: On papal conclave & election of the next pope by Thomas J. Reese, S.J.
The papal electors were limited to the clergy of the Diocese of Rome by the Roman synod of 499 (although in some elections some of the laity still participated until the 8th century).
As early as 769, Pope Stephen III (768-772) convened a synod that restricted the electors to the cardinal priests and deacons.
Cardinals who attended the 2005 conclave told John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter that they were very conscious of the fact that anyone who came close to a majority would be difficult to stop.

All cardinals who are under 80 years of age when the pope dies have the right to vote for the next pope, unless they have been canonically deposed or, with the permission of the pope, have renounced the cardinalate.

 Papal conclave, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eligible members of the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church (those who were less than 80 years of age at the time of the death of Pope John Paul II) met and elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pope.
The late pope appointed another cardinal secretly (in pectore) in 2003, but his identity was never made public; since John Paul did not reveal the name of this cardinal before he died, the in pectore cardinalate expired on April 2.

 Los Angeles Times: Secret Papal Voting Begins
Conclave rules dictated that Ratzinger, as dean of the College of Cardinals, lead the proceedings, and he used his homily at the Mass to articulate the core principles of a traditionalist bloc within the conclave and the kind of pope it seeks.
With cardinals sworn to secrecy, the politics in the conclave were impossible for outsiders to follow.
As the crowd waited, the cardinals were to draw lots to choose two of their number to record the votes and a third to read the vote tallies aloud.

 Conclave: How Papal Election Works, a free article by Amanda Milewski
Upon the death of the Pope, a monumental sequence of events unfolds, culminating in a process known as the conclave whereby a new Pope is elected to lead the Roman Catholic faith.
The Cardinal Electors, almost all of whom were appointed by Pope John Paul II, will vote in a very thorough process of secret balloting where a two-thirds majority is needed to elect a new Pope.

Cardinal Franz König of Vienna, in a July 2001 NCR interview, said the real work is done in behind-the-scenes meetings of three and four cardinals, perhaps over glasses of wine and cigars, as opposed to any of the formal events.
They agreed it would be a difficult conclave, for while the progressives had a large vote in the council, the curialists and conservatives certainly remained strong within the College of Cardinals.
Cardinal Giovanni Benelli of Florence, who had been Paul VI's right-hand man and who was in many ways the obvious candidate to succeed him, took himself out of the running.

 CBC News Indepth: The Pope
When the 115 cardinal electors gathered in the Sistine Chapel to choose a new pope, they followed a millennium-old tradition in the Catholic Church that has been modified over the centuries.
The conclave process that was followed by those princes of the church was ordered by Pope John Paul II in 1996, but it hasn't always been that way.
Cardinals were given sole authority to choose pontiffs in 1059, when Nicholas II sought to prevent outsiders from meddling in church affairs.

 Catholic World News (CWN)
Vatican, Apr. 18, 2005 (CWNews.com) - The papal conclave began today, with all 115 cardinal-electors concelebrating a Mass pro eligendo summo Pontifice in St. Peter's Basilica, and heard a homily in which Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (bio - news) warned against the influences of popular ideology.
Cardinal Ratzinger, as dean of the College of Cardinals, was the principal celebrant of the Mass, at which the cardinals asked for God to guide their choice of a new Roman Pontiff.
In a further meditation on the Letter to the Ephesians, the cardinal focused on St. Paul's remarks about those who are "tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine." That description, he said, captures the troubles of the current age.

 Schneier on Security: Hacking the Papal Election
The rules for papal elections are steeped in tradition, and were last codified on 22 Feb 1996: "Universi Dominici Gregis on the Vacancy of the Apostolic See and the Election of the Roman Pontiff." The document is well-thought-out, and filled with details.
Each cardinal writes his selection for Pope on a rectangular ballot paper "as far as possible in handwriting that cannot be identified as his." He then folds the paper lengthwise and holds it aloft for everyone to see.
The cardinals proceed to the altar one by one.

 Catholic World News : Toward the conclave #9: background of the cardinal-electors
Apr. 15, 2005 (CWNews.com) - For generations, any analysis of a papal conclave began with a simple division, separating the Italian cardinals from those of other countries.
For generations, Italian prelates had controlled the process, both because they dominated the College of Cardinals and because-- in the days before world travel and instant communication became routine-- they were better acquainted with each other and with the workings of the Holy See.
Europe is still heavily represented, with 58 electors; but there will also be 20 from Latin America, 14 from North America, 11 from Africa, 10 from Asia, and 2 from Australia and Oceania.

As the cardinals assemble to elect a successor, the fictional, right-wing Corpus Christie Institute joins forces with the real-life Opus Dei and the Curia to block the candidacy of the leading liberal candidate.
I learned a bit about the Papal election process, and I learned a LOT about what a particular part of the priesthood thinks about the current and previous Popes.
While the recent conclave did not elect a 'liberal' Pope as Greeley had put forward in this novel we are left with a clearer understanding of the political forces within the church.
