Lots of media coverage on the conclave. Maybe someone can explain why it's so important. (Not being rhetorical - genuinely don't understand)
I do get the Catholic church has 1 Bn+ followers - but struggling to see the relevance to the modern world of a religious leader with no political or legal power.
No way they just cut away from the game for news on the pope on 09:11 - May 8 by bluelagos

Especially as no one knows what's going on inside. We don't know who the candidates are or how many votes they each got. It's just "Another vote. No new pope yet."
Cover it when there's something to actually say.

There are some interesting questions to be asked about the secrecy. If this is gods will why is it necessary? This organisation does not have a great record when it comes to deciding what should be kept secret....

The Pope is infallible, but I'm not so sure about those Cardinals...
