 Evolutionary Economics - An interesting Conclave
A papal conclave is a curious mixture of the holy and the unholy; a naked power struggle concealed behind elaborate protocol, exquisite ecclesiastical courtesy and the imposition of an ironclad rule of secrecy that is already making some papabili - as serious runners for the succession are known - quake in their shoes.
In the short run-up period to the conclave, the cardinals are staying for the most part in their own national seminaries or training colleges for future priests dotted about the city of Rome.
Conclaves always have kingmakers, cardinals who are not necessarily themselves candidates for the highest office, through age or infirmity, or for some other reason, but who set the guidelines for the choice of their colleagues.

 Science Fair Projects - Speculation about the papal conclave, 2005
The period leading up to a conclave has always been accompanied by intense speculation by pundits and the general public as to the identity of the new Pope, despite the fact that it has been deemed impossible for people outside the Vatican to make such predictions correctly.
