The intensity of a papal conclave can overwhelm even the most seasoned cardinals. In 1978, one hundred eleven princes of the Church gathered in the Sistine Chapel, their minds still reeling from the shocking death of Pope John Paul after just thirty-three days in office. The smoke had barely cleared from their last conclave when they were called back to Rome. For the second time in two months, they faced the weight of selecting God's representative on Earth.
The election of Karol Wojtyła as John Paul II reminds us how a few days in a sealed chapel can change the course of history.
