| Factbox: Statistics on the pontificate of Pope Benedict Posted: 11 Mar 2013 02:47 PM PDT VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Following are some statistics on the papacy of Pope Benedict, who on Thursday becomes the first pontiff in 597 years to step down. The pope led the Roman Catholic Church for seven years, 10 months and nine days, which is close to the average length of the 265 popes before him. His predecessor John Paul II reigned for 26 years, five months and 15 days, making his the third-longest pontificate. The longest papal reign is believed to be that of St Peter, the first pope, who presided for at least 34 years. ... |

| Posted: 11 Mar 2013 08:11 AM PDT As The New York Times puts it, the "art of running for pope ... means never, ever appearing to be running." Obviously, no one rises to top of any organization without ambition, but since humility is also one of the key job qualifications for the Pontiff, it can be tricky to let the other Cardinals know you want the job without letting them know that you really, really want the job. All members of the conclave have been forbidden to talk to the media, or speak out on social media, but even so, publicly pushing for a particular candidate just isn't done. |
| Cardinals draw lots to settle Vatican guest-house rooms Posted: 11 Mar 2013 08:11 AM PDT By Keith Weir VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Before they get down to the business of choosing a new pope this week, the 115 elector cardinals are holding another ballot - drawing lots to decide which room they get in the Vatican guest house that will be their home during the conclave. Some will be disappointed, because the five-storey Santa Martha House inside the walls of Vatican City, has only 106 "suites". Despite the grandiose name, these rooms have just a single bed, bathroom and a small desk space. The nine cardinals who miss out on the suites will have to settle for more spartan single rooms. ... |

Commission on Narcotic Drugs and said the crop would be part of his country's drive to industrialize. ... |
