Group seeks to open pope selection to public
A new committee of about 25 prominent Catholics urges public scrutiny of how a pope is chosen. They publish profiles of cardinals and a newsletter Conclave Confidential, seek computer projections of likely papal outcomes, and plan a global network with some Protestant and Orthodox scholars. The effort aims to illuminate a traditionally secret process.
