Just found out that MSN has free live video of the doors that the new Pope is going to walk out of.. so you can watch it on your computer.
I hope he walks out before my lunch is over.. LOL

I tried this and it doesn't work on my computer

Apparently Benedict XV was a very modern Pope - there seems to be worry already that the new Pope will be another modern pope, based on the name he chose.
