| | Papal conclave, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This state of affairs is not unparalleled in modern conclaves: the 1903 conclave had only one elector with previous experience in electing a pope, and the 1823 conclave only two. |
 | | After Archbishop Piero Marini (the Papal Master of Ceremonies) intoned the words extra omnes (Latin, "everybody out!"), the members of the choir, security guards, and others left the chapel and the doors of the Sistine Chapel were closed, leaving the cardinals in conclave. |
 | | On September 23, 2005 a text purporting to be the unauthorized diary of a cardinal was published by the Italian magazine Limes. |
