Undercover Cardinal
@theblueskycardinal.bsky.social
A low-profile Cardinal in a flyover diocese. I won’t win, but I’ll get to vote!
Plus I’ll keep everyone up to date on what’s really going on at the Conclave! 🤫

Assessment of the current favorite:
Pro: Strong on evolving the faith, amazing empathy and focused on helping people.
Con: Mumbles during the Apostles’ Creed. Often seems distracted during Anointing of the Sick.

One Cardinal’s nickname is “Mr. Doesn’t Wash His Hands”.

So yesterday they had the best croutons for the Caesar salad at lunch. Everyone loved them; talk of the #conclave. Today the salad is back but the croutons are nowhere to be found. Guy who gets them back gets my vote.

I won’t say who, but one Cardinal is seriously googling popular 2025 names and musing on what he should call himself.
No one wants Pope Noah, Grayson or Ezra. Hope he’s also googling cheap flights back home.

Do people know the Sistine Chapel is off-limits until we’re done? Some guy with an “I ❤️ Terry Haute” t-shirt just stuck his head in and asked what time tours started today.

We’re focused on the task at hand but it’s hard not to peek out the windows and look for celebs in the crowd outside. Yesterday we spotted Bono, Mr. Beast and Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty.

Now the guys who are getting the most votes are literally sauntering around the room with several other Cardinals in their wake. It looks like Entourage with beanies.

After each vote, we mingle around again. With so many new Cardinals it’s hard to keep everyone straight and Google Translate can only help so much. I think I accidentally told the guy from Burkina Faso he was a toadstool.

With all the secrecy, we don’t have maids & we don’t have exterminators either, which means a certain Cardinal’s room with 15 half-eaten yogurt cups is adding extra urgency to each vote. I’m starting to understand why they took the roof off this place during that one #conclave in the 13th century.

What a cranky 2nd vote. Half the #conclave voted for themselves. I’m blaming jet-lag and the cut rate continental breakfast. This is a conclave, not a 12-year old travel team hotel in Knoxville.

Ok, bedtime for the #Conclave.
I managed to get a room but I can already hear the guy from Bolivia snoring while his Bluetooth speaker blares Vangelis.

At least the crowd outside is going home for the night. Tired of hearing beach balls getting punched. Tired of hearing the wave.

It’s always weird after a failed vote. Big sighs from Pizzaballa. Parolin and Tagle real cool to each other at the keg. American Cardinal “with plans” frantically cancelling his flight.
Calm down everyone, it’s an old-fashioned #Conclave

Not even close to a majority. Made the rookie from Switzerland handle the smokestack for this one. He’s gonna need a new cassock.
