Free Lectures: How are Popes Elected?

Awesome... two free lectures from the Teaching Company. Kind of bad timing to release these though, at this point I'm pretty burned out on the whole Pope thing. I've been listening to the free lectures at ITConversations.com instead. Download it, transfer to mp3, and listen on your commute.

They are definitely worth it! It is amazing to realize that this is the world's oldest elected office.

What do you think of the change in the rules that allowed a simple majority instead of insisting on a 2/3 majority? I don't think Ratzinger would have been the one if the rules had not changed. JP2 has determined the future direction of the church through his will and testament.
