As the world awakens for the second day of the conclave, I find myself reflecting deeply on the future of the Church and the man who will soon occupy the Chair of Peter.

It was in many ways an otherworldly and at times exhilarating experience to know that I was staying under the same roof as the Holy Father. A friend who was working in the Vatican had helped arrange my accommodations, and along the way he kept reminding me to be on my best behavior and not to break the house rules (such as they are) when I stayed there.
