The word conclave actually comes from the Latin meaning "with a key" because the cardinals are literally locked into the Sistine Chapel during their deliberations.
During the last conclave, they had some problems because the man in charge didn't quite know how to put the chemicals in, and so the smoke was coming out gray, and everybody was scratching their heads saying, "Do we have a pope or don't we?"
They had this enormous list of the characteristics of the next pope and I thought, "Jesus Christ himself couldn't satisfy that." I mean, let the Pope be the pope he's going to be.

Apparently, in 1958, before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was "pastor et nautor", the motto attibuted to the next Pope in the prophecies!
