The sacred silence of the Sistine Chapel will speak again. Following the death of Pope Francis, the Conclave will open on May 7 to elect the 267th pontiff of the Catholic Church. Hundreds of millions of faithful are ready to watch for the white smoke, in the most classic of rituals where mystery and spirituality intertwine with history. But while it is the Holy Spirit who inspires the final word, the choice of the Pope also remains a human, social, and political event. Behind the closed doors o

In 2005, cell phones were banned for the first time during the conclave, the process by which the Catholic Church elects its new pope. Twenty years later, after the death of Pope Francis, the election process is underway again. Authorities have two priorities: to protect the integrity of those attending the meeting, and to ensure that it proceeds in strict secrecy (under penalty of excommunication and imprisonment) until the final decision is made.

As I read the latest updates, I had an intrusive thought: is there already a prediction market on his health? I’m sorry to report that yes there is. The phenomenon of a “New Pope in 2025?” market isn’t new; until 1918, gambling on papal deaths and elections was punishable by excommunication. The 500-year-old story behind it is an illustra

The Barn Swallow’s Flight Whenever you feel that there is no joy in the world, you must go to a place with swallows. Few things are more euphoric than a swallow in flight. The sun flashes on their iridescent backs. They swoop and dive and wheel around in reckless arcs. Up close they fly nearly too fast for your eyes to track. In a group their motion overwhelms your vision like a Fourth of July finale. Swallows catch insects from mid air with the acrobatics of a bat, but with much greater grace
