Italian media speculation the long conclave session was the result of one of two things - either - a glitch with the vote, forcing a re-count, or the opening address from Cardinal Cantalamessa running 50mins not 15. Expect quicker sessions tomorrow #pope #Conclave2025

So…black smoke, no Pope. Crowd scattters. Three hours and 20 minutes…much slower than the Vatican had briefed. If it takes that long, difficult to see how they do four votes in one day… #pope #conclave

Now almost 3 hours for conclave… either the process is moving far slower than the Vatican had expected, or they have a possible Pope, and he’s now getting ready to step on to the balcony and reveal himself to the world #conclave #pope

Waiting 2 hours now for a decision on the next #Pope…10s of 1000s of peeps relying not on their iPhones or iPads… but an ancient form of communication: smoke signals! Great to see so many heads looking up, not down. #conclave

The #PopeFrancis funeral and burial is complete, now the politics begins. The #cardinals meet today, many for the first time, 80% of them brand new. They deny they’re ‘candidates’ in a ‘campaign’…but there are similarities! #Conclave date should be announced in hours

I was deeply moved during my FaceTime call with Casey Gadaleta, an incredible Aussie who lost his leg after stepping on a mine while on the frontlines in Ukraine. Casey’s story of bravery is inspiring. Last year, after seeing heartbreaking footage of Russian attacks on children in Ukraine, he didn’t hesitate—he boarded a plane in Queensland and flew 15,000 km to fight for justice. His courage in volunteering to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces is nothing short of heroic. I’m so grateful to Casey for his sacrifice in defending democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Sad news: Mr Democracy Manifest has died. The cultural icon, whose arrest inspired a thousand t-shirts and millions of downloads, had advanced cancer. His immortal words will echo thru generations: “What is the charge..eating a meal, a succulent Chinese meal?!!” Vale Jack Karlson
