That's the second time I've seen the word 'Sequestered' used in the right context ever.

I like how anyone could potentially be the next Pope as long as they're a male and were Baptized into the Roman Catholic Church.

I found that to be quite interesting as well. After further research, I've discovered that "Pope John Paul II introduced rules in 1996 that the requirement for a two-thirds majority could be waived after 12 days, and the pope may be chosen by an absolute majority. But Benedict canceled this provision in 2007.

Under the new rules, after 12 days, the choice of candidates is limited to the two men who received the most votes in the last round. The two candidates do not vote in this round and, to be elected pope, one needs to achieve a two-thirds majority." - from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
