Notable quotes

“(about Pope John XXIII) Not long after he was elected pope, John was walking in the streets of Rome. A woman passed him and said to her friend, "My God, he's so fat!" Overhearing what she said, he turned around and replied, "Madame, I trust you understand that the papal conclave is not exactly a beauty contest."”
— Emily Antenucci and Carol Glatz, in "Jokes, quips, wisecracks: John XXIII lived with keen sense of humor" at Catholic News Service (24 March 2014)
“The Holy Father pointed out on one occasion that Latin America was preparing to reevangelize Europe and to evangelize other regions of the world; and he saw this as the plan for the region for the Third Millennium. Latin America is now a mature Church, ready to give a Pope to the universal Church, if not during this conclave, then during the next.”
— Cipriano Calderón Polo, Vatican official: Latin America ready to give the Church a pope (14 April 2005) Catholic News Agency
“The stringency of these regulations at once aroused opposition; yet the first elections held in conclave proved that the principle was right.”
— Austin Dowling, Conclave Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)
“We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as definitive and has as its highest value one's own ego and one's own desires.”
— Joseph Ratzinger, Homily at St. Peter's Basilica before the conclave of cardinals (18 April 2005)
“Yesterday, a funny thing happened to me on my way to the Conclave.”
— Pope John Paul II. Address to the crowd in St Peter's Square (27 August 1978), the day after his election, as quoted in In God's Name (1987) by David Yallop, p. 132
