Vatican Politics

Granting that there is such thing as "politics" when a Pope is elected, still the fact remains that it can never be deemed as human politics. It is an election where Holy Spirit guides the entire Conclave in their decisions so that God's will is realized. Definitely, we must all believe that it is Christ who chooses the next Pope. This is what we can consider as another mystery in our Faith where we cannot really rely on our I man understanding. Thus, talks about who will be the next Pope and what kind of Pope he would be for all of us are just fine. But such acts are best done in the form of prayer and not by showing off what the imperfect human brain can think of.

From the perspective of a layman and applying the Vatican process to local politics and elections, things would have been better. Could even be almost better.
