Vatican Smoke-Watch: Still No Pope

It’s not yet noon and we have no Pope – after yet another nail-biting vote! Over at Fox, specical Papal Contributor Father Jonathan Morris exudes a calming, good-natured confidence (or maybe we’re just “calmed” because he looks a lot like Greg Kinnear). He translates Cardinal Ratzenberger (the odds-on favorite), clarifying that The Holy Spirit hasn’t chosen the new Pope per se (“the Holy Spirit never, ever is going to force us to make a decision”), but rather that His hand will guide the cardinals in their vote-casting journey. Is it wrong that we kind of want to guide Father Jon’s hand ourselves? Oh God, we’re going to hell. A lovingly-taken photo of Father Jon after the jump.
