New Prada shoes to fill: Conclave is in session

Papal conclave begins.. Cardinals enter..
When will the white smoke billow? When will the cardinals vote? When will a new Pope be chosen, and when we build a mote?

Thousands crowd cardinals at last mass before the conclave began..

While you’re waiting for Peter the Roman, or Petrus Romanus, to step out from behind the shadows in catican City, you may want to take a quick trip there.. it will only takes seconds..
